The Abbot and community of
Downside have established a bursary fund from which grants
can be made to those parents who may need financial assistance
to enable their children to attend the School. All bursaries
are means-tested and are available to pupils entering
the School at all age levels. Bursaries can also be awarded
to parents of current Downside pupils whose financial
circumstances may have changed unexpectedly. Bursaries
are normally subject to a limit of 50% of the school
fees but awards to the amount of 100% of the school fees
can be awarded in exceptional circumstances.
Bursary applications are also
accepted from the holder of a Scholarship or Exhibition,
if the award is insufficient to enable a place at the
School to be taken up. Grants are normally subject to
a limit of half of the total fees.
Bursary application forms can be obtained from the Registrar.
All applications are treated in the strictest confidence.
Fee-concessions are also available for siblings and for
children of Old Gregorians (alumni):
Siblings
Second and subsequent siblings are eligible for a 10%
concession on the school fees once they have joined the
School.
Children of Old Gregorians
A concession of 2½% on the school fees is available
for each child
No child would normally receive a fee concession of more
than 50% of the total of the fees, including scholarships
and bursaries.
Please
contact our Registrar, Mrs Anastasia Hatvany, for
further information.
