Scholarships and Bursaries
Scholarships
Bede's offers scholarships and performance awards from Year 3 through to the Sixth Form, recognising excellence in a range of disciplines including Academics, Art, Drama, Dance, Music and the Performing Arts and Sport.
Scholarships usually come with fee remission but just as importantly they are given with a commitment from us to develop and extend each scholar's talents, by providing expert tuition, enrichment and a supportive culture that challenges each child to expect more of themselves.
Bursaries
Bede's is committed to helping talented pupils from all backgrounds benefit from a Bede's education and therefore offers means-tested bursaries to parents on low incomes which can be combined with scholarships.
If, in order to attend Bede’s, your child will need additional funding beyond the scholarship award, we will ask you to fill out a Statement of Financial Circumstances, which will need to be completed in advance of scholarship.
More information on scholarships and bursaries can be found in our scholarship guides.
