Financial Support

We provide financial support for students eligible for free school meals or the 16-19 Bursary. We also operate a scholarship scheme called the Garnett Family Scholars Programme which provides additional financial, material and mentoring support for financially disadvantaged students. On enrolment students will be given information  on how to apply for this support. 

As a small school we do not have an catering service, so students eligible for free school meals are given a monthly payment to pay for their school lunches in addition to their 16-19 Bursary support.
