Means-tested Bursaries
At St Leonards, we welcome bursary applications from local day families. Bursary support can be allocated to day pupils in Year 7 and above, based upon need. Support is provided either through the St Leonards Assisted Places Scheme or via the Financial Assistance Fund.
Families interested in applying for financial assistance should mark this in the appropriate section when completing their initial enquiry form. Bursary assessments take place in February each year and further details are communicated to those who have registered an interest in applying for assistance.
Applications are open for the 2025/26 academic year.
