Bursaries

As a charitable foundation, we are committed to making a Kerem education accessible to the widest possible range of children from our community.  They have a positive impact, not only on each recipient, but by enriching and diversifying our school community.
Each year, we offer several fee-assisted places (bursaries) to eligible families. Bursaries can transform a child’s experience of learning and greatly increase the opportunities available to them in adulthood.​

How our bursaries work

How to apply for a bursary

Please contact admissions@keremschool.co.uk to request an initial bursary enquiry form.

Who can apply for a Bursary?

Bursaries are available to pupils applying to join the School at Reception and in Years 1-6.

Do you qualify for a bursary?

Our financial support is means-tested, so we will need to assess your circumstances before making a decision. Every family is different, so we consider each application individually rather than setting strict thresholds and criteria. We will take into account your sources and amount of income, your outgoings, the size of your family, the number of dependent children and your assets and liabilities. Our funds are limited, so we are not always able to offer as many bursaries as we would wish.

The level of bursary award

Bursary awards range in value according to financial need and the funds available for bursaries. As a rough guide, families with one child whose total household gross income is approximately £150,000 or more will not be eligible for bursary support.

What do bursaries cover?

Bursaries cover the cost of our school fees.
Costs such as coach travel, lunches, and educational school trips are not covered.

Annual reassessment

Every year, each bursary is subject to a means-test reassessment. The size of the award for the coming year will only be adjusted up or down if there has been a significant change to the family’s financial circumstances.  If your circumstances have changed very significantly and you would not qualify if applying now, your bursary may be withdrawn.
Families of bursary award holders are responsible for any remaining school fees not covered by the bursary award.

Who will know?

Bursaries are awarded in confidence.  However, many bursary students are happy to tell others and some act as ambassadors, encouraging others to apply or donate financially to the scheme.
