The main fundraising objective remains bursaries,
and it is most encouraging to see continuing growth
in the number and value of bursaries awarded.
In the academic year 2013/2014, 86 boys (2013: 76)
received means-tested bursaries worth £1,697,000
(2013: £1,410,000), the equivalent of over 50 full fees
and 7.4% of gross fee income. Within this, £17,000
was awarded to allow bursary recipients to participate
fully in the life of the College by providing for the
first time additional support with the cost of
extras and trips.
In addition, scholarships and other awards totalling
£372,000 were given to a further 75 pupils (2013:
82 pupils; £318,000). In total, 161 pupils received
fee awards totalling £2,069,000, representing more
than 9% of gross fee income.
The current year marks the end of scholarships and
music exhibitions which carry an automatic financial
benefit: once the current top year leave, all awards will
be means-tested. It also marks the first time we have
surpassed 100 pupils receiving financial support, with
101 currently receiving bursaries totalling £2,103,000,
the equivalent of over 60 full fees. Thirty-five of
these awards were made to new entrants/recipients.
Five pupils are rece
