We don’t want financial circumstances to be a barrier preventing girls who have demonstrated their potential to take up a place at our school.
So we are committed to providing support (called a bursary) to those families in most financial need, enabling their daughters to fulfil that potential and take up a place here.
Bursaries are funded by The Marjorie Hulme Bursary Fund through the generosity of donors, charities, trusts, foundations and by school funds. Our governors are investing in generations of Withington pupils by donating the equivalent of 4% of fee income each year to the WGS Trust (Charity Number 505207) for financial assistance.
Bursary support is worth a considerable amount, so a rigorous process is in place to identify which families should be awarded bursaries.
Demand for bursaries far exceeds the bursary funding available and there are a limited number of full bursaries. Please note that if you apply for a bursary, it is not a given that you will be awarded a bursary, even if you meet the eligibility criteria.
