Christ’s Hospital Help With School Fees

Christ’s Hospital offers families (day and boarding) the potential of fee-assisted places.

A bursary is means-assessed financial assistance given to help support a family who would not otherwise be able to afford some or all the school fees.

A scholarship rewards outstanding achievements and talent in, for example, academic work, music, sport, art or drama.

Scholarships may be offered to give a discount of up to 20% of the assessed fee level. Scholarships are awarded to students who are entering the school at Year 7, Year 9 and Year 12 and to existing students who are moving into Year 9 and Year 12.

Bursaries make places at Christ’s Hospital affordable; scholarships are an additional bonus for outstanding students.

Students may be awarded both a bursary and a scholarship at the same time

Head’s Award

The Head Teacher has a discretionary award for all-round academic and broader curricular achievement and/or significant potential. This is awarded at the end of the assessment process, can be honorary or financial and can be awarded to a boarding student as well as to a day student.

Day Students

We welcome day students who are within a commutable distance from the school.

As well as offering academic, art, drama, music and sport scholarships, Christ’s Hospital is committed to widening access by extending fee assistance to day students.

Entry Process

Our selection process is designed to determine whether a child will flourish and excel in our school community with its strong academic ethos, wide range of opportunities and extensive facilities.

Parents are advised to start the admissions process as early as possible and ideally 18 months before their child would be due to enter the school.

Places are academically selective and are based on Christ’s Hospital’s own assessment process.

How Do I Apply for a Place?

The first step is to complete an online application form via our website and pay the registration fee. We will then take you through the application process, letting you know what is required at the different stages.

When you first complete the application form, kindly tick the box(es) asking about fee assistance: bursary support and/or scholarship awards. We will send you all the relevant information.

The bursary forms become increasingly detailed and require proof (e.g. in the form of bank statements etc.) as the applicant moves through our admissions process.
