Generous Bursaries & Scholarships are offered from 11+ and two thirds of our pupils qualify as gifted learners in national terms 400 Years of Helping Bristol BoysFEES From September 2010, until further notice, the fees will be £3460 per term (£10380 per annum). Please note: Fees include text and exercise books, examination fees and essential educational trips but do not include lunches which are £2.75 per day. BURSARIES & SCHOLARSHIPS QEH has given substantial financial help towards the education of boys in Bristol since its foundation in 1586. It continues to provide a first class education for boys whose families would otherwise not be able to find the funds to pay for it. Bursaries The school has generous funding available for Bursaries at 11+ onwards from its own investments, the John James Foundation (a Bristol-based Charity), the QEH Old Boys’ Society and the continued generosity of Old Boys and friends of the school. Bursaries are means-tested and a boy can receive up to 100% assistance towards fees. John Carr Academic Scholarships John Carr Academic Scholarships are awarded on the basis of a boy’s performance in the 11+ Entrance Examinations. They are not means-tested and remain with the pupil until he leaves (subject to good behaviour and progress). Of course Scholarships are only awarded to those near the top of the Entrance Examinations list and represent a considerable achievement on the part of the pupil. Although the number of Scholarships varies from year to year, depending on the quality of candidates, anyone in the top 15 of the Entrance Examinations will be eligible for a scholarship of up to 25% of fees. Scholarships are available in a similar way at 13+, though the entry at that age tends to be small and so the value and number of Scholarships at 13+ will vary from year to year. Music Scholarships Scholarships are also available for able musicians at both 11+ and 13+. We look for all-round musical talent and potential (not just grades achieved). A Music Scholar must also sit and pass the normal Entrance Examinations. Ogden Sixth Form Science Scholarships Students entering QEH from a state school can receive up to 100% of fees from the Ogden Trust. Those applying for an Ogden scholarship must expect to achieve high grades at GCSE and be intending to study Maths and Physics at A-level. For more details go to www.ogdentrust.com . Education Maintenance Allowance Under the EMA scheme up to £30.00 per week is paid from Government funds to Sixth Form students, including those at independent schools, provided they fulfil financial, attendance and progress criteria. Money is paid directly to the student depending on parental income on a sliding scale up to £30K.
QEH Gifted and Talented Programme All John Carr Scholars will be recognized under the school’s ‘gifted and talented’ programme. Click here for further details. How to apply for a Scholarship or Bursary Every candidate who sits the Entrance Examinations is automatically entered for a John Carr Academic Scholarship. There is nothing additional to do. For a Music Scholarship, please tick the box on the application form and the Director of Music will contact you to discuss the audition. If you wish to apply for a Bursary you must complete the Statement of Financial Circumstances form before your boy sits the Entrance Examinations and tick the box to indicate that you are applying for an Assisted Place. If your son’s performance in the examinations warrants consideration for a Bursary, you will be invited to school to discuss how the school might be able to help. Further Questions? Please get in touch. Our Admissions Registrar, Liz Bamber, can answer most questions. Her telephone number is 0117 930 3068. The Headmaster and Bursar will also be happy to discuss your application either on the telephone or in person.
