Bursaries play a crucial role in ensuring that all talented pupils have the opportunity to access an education at our schools. Through the Annual Fund, we can provide means-tested financial support to those who need it most, enabling deserving pupils to thrive and contribute to our school communities.
Why Support Bursaries?
At Princethorpe College we believe that potential should never be limited by financial circumstances. Bursaries provide access to a transformative education for children whose families may need financial support. With your generosity, we can continue to welcome a diverse range of talented pupils, ensuring that our school remain inclusive and accessible for all.
What Your Support Will Achieve
Your contribution to the Bursary Fund will:
- Provide Access to Education: Ensure that gifted pupils, regardless of their financial background, have the opportunity to study at Princethorpe College.

Why Bursaries Matter
Bursaries are essential in maintaining the inclusive ethos of our schools, ensuring that financial barriers don’t prevent talented pupils from joining our community.
