Bursaries
A Bursary is a fee reduction that takes account of limited parental resources.
Yarm School wishes to make it possible for bright, promising children to be able to attend the School regardless of domestic circumstances.
Bursaries are funded from deposits set aside for this purpose and from the general income of the School. As a guide, assistance is given in asliding scale, linked to family income. The School will consider making an annual award where the total gross family income is less than £45,000 per annum.
In some cases, the School will also offer financial support for extras such as lunch, trips and uniform. All applications are dealt with on the understanding that enquiry will be made as a matter of routine into the financial resources of any family making a Bursary application. All details made in the application are kept confidential.
An application form is available and applications must be submitted to the School before the Sixth Form Interview. Bursary applications submitted later than this are unlikely to be successful as the funds are likely to have been allocated.
