Early Years Support
From September 2024, Danes Hill School will no longer take part in the Government FEE Scheme. If you would like to apply for financial support, in the form of a means-tested bursary, following registration, the Registrar can place you in contact with our Financial Controller, who can talk you through the process.
We wholeheartedly support bursaries and have committed to expand these. We are supported by Bursary Administration Limited (BAL), an independent organisation which means tests applications on behalf of the school, to ensure fairness and openness in this process.
Bursaries
The Trust continues to fund a number of bursaries to pupils in accordance with its Bursaries and Financial Assistance Policy.
Sibling Discount
A sibling discount of 10% is applied to the tuition fees of the third and subsequent sibling, with the condition that all siblings are in Reception or above.
The 10% fee discount for the third and subsequent siblings will be honoured for the duration of their time at Danes Hill providing the other qualifying siblings remain at Danes Hill until the natural end of their Danes Hill journey in Year 6 or Year 8.
Should a qualifying sibling leave at a non-natural point, for any reason, the sibling discount will cease unless three qualifying siblings remain at Danes Hill.
