Park School for Girls Bursaries and Scholarships 

An aided place is referred to as a support, and these may be given out in the form of a reduction on tuition of up to 25%, based on the applicants’ financial, compassionate, and other relevant conditions. Children in Reception and later are eligible for assisted spaces. Requests for financial assistance often fall into one of two groups: New students whose applications will be accepted but whose parents or guardians will not be able to cover the full cost of tuition. Existing students who are having trouble paying tuition due to a change in their personal or financial situation, which could lead to their withdrawal from school in the middle of a stage of their education.

The 18th of March is the day of the next Open Morning. If you want to enrol your daughter, contact Mrs. Bhudia, the registrar, by email at admin@parkschool.org.uk.

FAQ

• Why Park School Girls?

Since 1974, Park School for Girls has been offering a first-rate education, and we have already begun organising our 50th anniversary festivities! We are able to get to know your daughter well in a small setting, recognize her strengths, work with her on any areas where she might need extra assistance, and provide a customised education to help her realise her full potential.

Our students are well equipped to enter our Senior School at the end of Year 6 or, in the unusual event that you decide to leave us at this point, to take admission exams for other Independent or Grammar schools.

Our students transfer to other top-notch neighbourhood independent or grammar schools to further their studies after leaving us at Year 11.

• What is my child’s position in the waiting list?

We are unable to provide a student’s precise placement on our list since it is subject to change when siblings, staff members’ children, and other students register. To minimize disappointment, we usually advise registering as soon as possible.
