Bursaries

Founded in 1919, Brambletye receives no financial support from the Government. To cover our costs and generate a surplus, all of which is reinvested into the School, parents are charged a termly fee for the education provided. However, the School Governors are able to offer bursarial support to families who might not otherwise have the opportunity to send their children to Brambletye.

A limited number of bursaries are available each year for children entering Year 3 or above, covering up to 100% of the basic fee for the duration of a child’s time at Brambletye. These bursaries are designed to assist families in need and ensure that a Brambletye education remains accessible to all. To qualify, candidates must demonstrate strong academic and all-round potential, and parents must show a genuine financial need for assistance.

To ensure the criteria are met, an Assessment Day will take place each year in the Spring Term to assess the suitability of potential candidates. It should be emphasised that there is no competitive element involved, but it is important for the School to be confident that any potential bursary recipients can fully access the School’s curriculum.

The application process involves completing a Bursary Application Form, a Confidential Statement of Financial Circumstances, a letter of recommendation from the child’s current Headmaster, and a covering letter.

Applications for September 2026 admissions must be submitted no later than 20th January 2026.

A Bursary Assessment Day will be held in the Spring Term of 2026.

If you would like to apply for a bursary or have any questions about the application process, please contact our Registrar, Kate, at registrar@brambletye.com
