16-19 Bursary Fund

The 16-19 Bursary Fund is paid by the Education Funding Agency (EFA) to Schools and Colleges so that they may provide financial help to students to continue in education. There is a weekly bursary for students whose parents / carers are entitled to certain benefits and for students defined as being in vulnerable groups and once these guaranteed bursaries have been allocated, the remaining funds are used to offer discretionary bursaries to other students in need of financial support.  Students may be eligible for a discretionary bursary if they qualify for free school meals, or if their parent / carer is in receipt of certain support payments.

We understand that sometimes other students also need support to help pay for school visits and other expenses, and students or parents are invited to talk to Mrs Webb  if they feel that they would be unable to participate in an educational activity without this support. All information is treated in strictest confidence.
