Over the years, we have provided bursaries where there is a strong case for financial support. Now we plan to do more. Our new ‘Stage for All Awards’ are very generous, means-tested bursaries, predominantly for places in our Sixth Form, for young people with outstanding talent and demonstrable need. Our goal is to be able to fund 10 ‘Stage for All Awards’ within the school at any one time.

Encouragement, top quality coaching and performance opportunities for a young person can make the difference between going on to realise their talent or giving up on a dream. And, beyond the critical importance of these awards for those who benefit directly, we believe the whole school gains from a wider range of backgrounds and perspectives.
