Fees assistance at The Maynard takes two forms: means-tested bursaries, based on parental income, and Scholarships, which are awarded to girls who are academically exceptional, have particular talents in Music, Sport, Art, or are all-rounders who contribute significantly to school life. You are welcome to contact Admissions for more information.

Means-Tested Support
Bursaries

The number of Bursaries is limited, but parents on low incomes are strongly urged to apply. Bursaries are generally awarded in January for the following year on a first come, first served basis. Early application in the Autumn term is advisable. The amount of assistance offered is calculated on parental income, the maximum being 45% of the school tuition fees. Applicants will be asked to submit evidence of income and other financial informtion. This will be reviewed annually and continue through your daughter’s time at the school including Sixth Form.

 

External Sources of Means-Tested Support

There are a number of charities that provide help with school fees for those in difficult circumstances or on low incomes. Please call us on 01392 355966 or email development@maynard.co.uk for further information.

Scholarships

Sixth Form

Much of the assistance we provide is to help Sixth Formers through that crucial final stage of their School career, and we provide three Sixth Form Academic Awards to candidates who demonstrate outstanding all-round ability in academic subjects in year 11, as well as two Sports Scholarships, two Art Scholarships, and two Walter Daw Music Scholarships. Each Sixth Form Scholar is expected to make a real contribution to the life of the school.

Science Scholarship (Ogden Trust)

Although referred to as a Scholarship, this award is in fact means-tested support offered to talented Science students from the state sector wishing to study A Levels at an independent school. The award is made possible thanks to the generosity of the Ogden Trust, whose aim is to sponsor students of outstanding scientific ability who wish to study Physics and Mathematics in the Sixth Form and read Physics at University. The Scholarship can be worth up to almost 100% of fees, depending on parental income. Students wishing to apply will need to meet the criteria laid down by the Trust (please visit www.ogdentrust.com for more information or contact Admissions).

Senior School

Senior School Scholarships are also worth 10% of school fees. Applicants from low income families can also request a means-tested Bursary if further financial assistance is required (up to a joint maximum of 45% of the fees).

Academic Scholarships (for Year 7 applicants)

Five Senior School Academic Scholarships are awarded annually. The Scholarships will be awarded to girls who achieve an outstanding overall level of performance when assessed for entrance (or Yr 6 Reasoning exams for internal candidates). There is no application process for these awards.

Music Scholarships (for Year 7, 8 & 9 applicants)

Music Scholarships are awarded, following an audition, to candidates who have already achieved a good level of technical competence and musicianship, and show evidence of further potential and a lively interest in the subject.
