Scholarships

We are proud to offer a limited number of scholarships for children entering Key Stage 2, recognising exceptional talent and potential in the areas of Academics, Music, and Sport.

Scholarships are awarded to pupils who demonstrate:

  • Academic ability typically within the top 10% of their peer group
  • Outstanding talent in music or sport
  • Excellence in a personal extracurricular activity or specialised area of study

Scholarship awards are based on your child’s performance during their Scholarship Assessment Day, which may include academic assessments and/or practical evaluations. Supporting documentation such as music or sports qualifications, awards, rankings, or references from instructors or coaches will also be considered as part of the application.

Scholarships may include a reduction in school fees, depending on the outcome of the assessments. Please note:

  • Scholarships are available only for Key Stage 2 pupils
  • Sibling discounts do not apply to subsidised scholarship places

School fees are reviewed annually, with any changes coming into effect at the beginning of the academic year.

For more details or to request a Scholarship Information Pack, please contact the School Office.

Bursaries

At Ghyll Royd School, we are committed to making our education as accessible as possible. To support this aim, a limited number of means-tested bursaries are available each academic year. These are awarded at the discretion of the Finance Governor, based on clear criteria and in a fair and consistent manner.

Bursary awards are reviewed annually to reflect any changes in family circumstances and school fees. As such, families must re-apply each year to confirm continued eligibility.

Families interested in applying for a bursary are encouraged to contact the Headteacher to arrange a visit. Following this, if they wish to proceed with an application, they will be asked to complete and return both an entry form and a means-testing form. Once the application has been reviewed, the school will inform parents of the level of financial support available.

For more information or to begin the process, please get in touch with the School Office or Headteacher directly.
