16-19 Bursary

Sixth Form

Students with a household income of less than £20,000 are eligible to apply for financial assistance to help cover their expenses whilst in Sixth Form. For example, stationery and equipment, the cost of some school trips and exam re-sits.

This is not a weekly payment; it is a re-imbursement , so you will need to provide receipts.

Ralph Thoresby Sixth Form has a limited allowance for this bursary so the amount available to each student varies each year. Applications can be made at any time of the year, as personal circumstances change.

The following rules apply to the 16-19 Bursary for the 2022-2023 academic year:

All evidence provided must be up to date and current i.e. documents should be dated within the last three months. Students who were eligible during 2021-22 will need to re-apply for the current academic year.
