​Please note that applications cannot be saved and returned to later. We therefore recommend having the following items ready before completing your application:

  • All applicants are required to state their total household income before tax. This information will be treated in the strictest confidence.​

  • If you are applying for a bursary because your child is in receipt of Free School Meals, you will need to upload a scanned copy of the letter you received from the Revenue and Benefits Service of Herefordshire Council confirming that your child is eligible to receive Free School Meals.​

  • If you are applying for a discretionary bursary, you will be asked if, apart from Child Benefit, you are in receipt of any Government benefits (local or national) or other financial support. Any documentary evidence should be scanned and uploaded, ensuring that the date, including the year, is visible. You are also asked if you have experienced any specific circumstances/events that have led you to make this application and whether you have experienced a significant drop in income recently. ​​​

  • For tuition bursaries, the following information is required:

    • Approximate standard of your child (i.e. beginner, Grade 4)
