Optional Extras
Private instrumental lessons are available and the fees for these are by arrangement with and payable directly to the individual music teacher. Most after school clubs and activities are led by school staff and are at no additional cost however external agencies are also used in order that we can offer the widest possible experience to our children. Clubs, where outside professional help is used, similarly to instrumental tuition, are chargeable by arrangement (e.g. Judo, Ballet, Speech and Drama).
Bursaries
Bursaries are based on a dual consideration of academic ability and financial need. A child must comfortably satisfy the School’s academic requirements in order to be considered. The Foundation offers means-tested awards annually to entrants at the main point of entry (Years 3, 7 and 12). Parents who would like to apply for a bursary should complete a Financial Assistance Form.
Financial Assistance forms can be obtained from our admissions team: admissions@bkhs.org.uk
Further advice regarding when and how bursaries may be applied for can be obtained from the School Business Manager, Mrs Tracey Pascall – pascallt@khviii.net

Scholarships
Scholarships are available at the age of 8. These are awarded at the discretion of the Head and staff. Scholarships may only be applied for if a child completes Year 3 at the School. Each scholarship represents a specific percentage reduction in school fees and these are awarded to the parents of high performing children. If a child is awarded a scholarship, the reduction in fees will start at the beginning of Year 4 and continue until the end of Year 6 (3 years). Scholarships cannot be transferred between Foundation schools.
Children are assessed for scholarships in the summer term of Year 3 (the final term) and they are based on specific assessments in a variety of subjects. Parents are advised of the date of scholarship assessments and invited to apply.
Academic awards are available for outstanding attainment, as are awards for the Arts and there are All-rounder awards for children who are very able in several areas of the curriculum: the academic, arts and sport.
