Sixth Form Bursary

Please note that the 2026/27 policy will be published later in June 2026

At West Kirby Grammar School we are always keen to support students who may struggle financially. We do not want their progress to suffer due to monetary constraints. Students are encouraged to apply for a bursary. The bursary can support you with the cost of home to school travel, books, clothes, attending University open days/interviews and much more.

There are two levels of Bursary payment dependent upon family circumstance. Full details can be downloaded in our Policies section.

Applications will open for the 2026/27 academic year in early September 2026.

Exceptional Circumstances

In the current economic climate, the fund can also help with hardship needs arising from a sudden change in circumstances such as redundancy or a sudden drop in household income. Students who apply with exceptional circumstances will be viewed sympathetically where financial need can be evidenced. In this situation, a covering letter should be included, outlining the circumstances and providing supporting evidence.
