OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Educational Ilnks-
Our School is part of a wider communlty and we are keen that our staff and pupils p8rtiQP8te in that. We
offer our lacilitios for a variety of sporting devdopment actI￿tieS for children frotn other 8ch(K)Is through sport
fixtures and are constantly looking lo develop this. We also offer a holiday club during Sch¢x)I holiday periods
and a Nursery, both through an external provider, and both are open lo children frorn the vAder community.
We have organised cour8e8 where we invite other schools ta participate, which obviously is beneficial to
them, and specialist teachers meet wilh others from different schools lo discu88 best praebee and sh￿e
ideas. Such meetlngs are open lo any local school.
Bur8ary Policy:
The Govemors view our bursary awards as important in hèlping lo ensure that children from families who
would otherwise not be able lo afford tho fees can a¢￿$S the education w8 offer. Our School 18 a $rn811 prep
School without the benefits of having any large endowments, and in funding our awards we have to be
mindful that we must ensure a balance between fee-paying parents, many of whom make con8ider8ble
Ison81 sacrifices to fund their childs education. and those benefiting from the awards.
Our bursary awards are available io all who meet our gener81 entry requirements and are made solely on the
basis of parental means or to rdieve h8rd3hip where a pupil's edUCat￿n and future prospects wotsld
olh&ywi88 be at risk, lor example, in the case ol redundancy. The 8wards range from 10% to 1000
remission of lees. We also attempt to supplement bursary awards to pay for extrs-eurricular activities,
equipment and school trips, in particular hardshlp cases. To 8mph8sise the importance we place on
conlinuily lor families, we also offer discounts whero paients have more than child at the School. A
di8caunl schemè where staff members ch￿se to educate their child 81 wr School is also in place, which we
1ieve can help to attract and retain high quality staff.
