Bursaries

The Governors and Head of St Michael’s Prep School are committed to broadening access to the school by offering eligible parents and guardians financial support with the payment of school fees.

Bursaries are made subject to the school's ability to fund these within the context of its overall budget that year. It is recognised that judgements about what sacrifices a family should be prepared to make to pay school fees will be personal. However, as well as current earnings, other factors such as lifestyle will be considered. Bursaries are only available to children in Year 3 and above.

Bursary outcomes will be sent together with an offer of a place to successful applicants and parents need to confirm acceptance in writing along with the deposit payment.

Please be aware that bursaries are only available to children in Year 3 and above.
