BURSARIES
The 16-18 Student Bursary Fund is a cash-limited fund to support learners who would benefit from financial support to help overcome specific barriers to participation, so they can remain in education. The award is dependent on DfE funds available to the Academy and individual students’ circumstances. The bursary is a separate payment from free school meals which you may be eligible for and can apply for directly through your local authority. Further information regarding how to apply for bursary funding will be provided when a place in the sixth form is awarded.
