Sutton Grammar School

Sixth Form Bursaries

Bursaries are available for students who may benefit from financial assistance to allow them to fully engage with the curriculum and enrichment offering at Sutton Grammar Sixth Form.

The bursary is available to help with funds for expenses such as:

• Essential course materials, e.g. text books or required digital equipment
• Travel costs, such as those required as part of the course or for an open day
• Costs of clothing to meet the Sixth Form dress code
• Course trips and visits
• UCAS fees

There are two categories of bursary – Vulnerable Bursaries and Discretionary Bursaries

Vulnerable bursaries are allocated to a limited number of students who are looked after by the Local Authority, or receive income support in their own name, or are disabled and in their own name receive a support allowance and a disability living allowance.

Discretionary bursaries are funded from a limited pot made available to the school and are available to those students in receipt of free school meals or who live in families where the combined taxable income is below £26,400 or in other exceptional circumstances (e.g. hardship caused by sudden changes to family circumstances). Payments from the bursary fund are dependent on zero unauthorised absence from classes and the completion of all work and courses. The money is intended to facilitate the purchase of textbooks and the other expenses of attending school such as travel and curriculum based trips.

If you have any questions please contact either the Head of Sixth Form or one of our Student Support Officers.
