Help with fees

We suggest you visit the Help with Fees page to learn more about our bursary scheme. This is only available to applicants for Year 6 and above. All applications for The Pelican school, and in Years 3-5 at The Prep will be for a full fee paying place.

If you are applying for a Year 6 place, and you request help with fees, you will be asked to complete a detailed statement of financial circumstances form, and a home visit will be arranged. The bursary assessment process is handled separately from the admissions process.

Please note: The School does not usually consider bursary applications from families who, at the time of registration, live outside a reasonable travelling distance to the School (defined as within one hour’s travelling time). Families who live outside this area but who wish to be considered for bursary funding for a Year 6 place should contact the School Accountant on bursary-application@perse.co.uk to discuss their particular circumstances.
I/We would like to apply for means-tested help with school fees:
Email contact for bursary application:
example@example.com
The Bursary Department will contact you and invite you to submit detailed financial circumstances information (and support documents) via our online bursary portal.

If you have not heard from the Department one week before the entrance assessments, please contact the Bursary on 01223 403800.

Please let us know below which email address we should use to contact you about this bursary application.

Thank you for completing this registration form, a copy of which will be emailed to you. When you click submit, please do not close the window until payment screen displays, as it may take a few moments for your form to be processed.

You will then be transferred to the payment screen to make payment of the registration fee, which is the final step required to submit your application. The registration fee reflects the costs incurred by the School in administering the admissions process before the offer of a place is made and is non-refundable irrespective of whether or not the registered child attends the entrance tests.

Please ensure that the child’s surname and year group they are applying for is quoted as a reference so that the payment can be matched to their application. Failure to do so may delay your application (e.g. Y3Smith, Y5Brown).
