16 - 19 Bursary

Bursary funds are available for students to support them in their education and to ensure they can access the materials and resources needed to continue to participate in post-16 education.

There are several bursaries we can offer. 

1. Financial Hardship Bursary - where families earn below a threshold figure, they can apply for a bursary to support the purchase of items essential to support a student to remain in education. This can include books, resources, uniform/dress code items, and much more.

2. Discretionary Bursary - where there are shorter-term hardships that make remaining in education difficult, we can offer discretionary bursaries. 

We do not specify an exact sum of money to support students but assess each student on a case-by-case basis to ensure the best use of funds to support as many students as possible. 

Where possible, we arrange to purchase items for students. Students are able to keep what is purchased for them, except for any computers which must be returned to the Academy at the end of year 13 for use by other students who require bursary support. 

If you feel your child is entitled to financial support, please contact Mrs Anne Squires, our Careers Advisor and Sixth Form Pastoral Support asquires@srwa.woodard.co.uk.
