Scholarships & bursaries
Scholarships
Scholarships are awarded to pupils with outstanding ability and flair, which the school assesses by examination, interview or audition. The financial value of a scholarship will be 20% of the annual tuition fee – irrespective of parental means. Scholarships are awarded in four categories: Academic; Music; Sport; and Art, Design & Drama.
Academic scholarships are awarded at 11+, 13+ and Sixth Form entry. Music scholarships are awarded at 11+, 13+ and Sixth Form entry. Sport and Art, Design & Drama scholarships are awarded only at Sixth Form entry.
If you wish to apply for a scholarship, please indicate your interest on the application form. Pupils may apply for more than one scholarship, although the maximum financial benefit that can be cumulated is 40% of the school fees.

Bursaries
We set aside generous funds to enable boys and girls to come to Norwich School who would not be able to do so without financial help. All bursaries are means-tested and can result in a reduction in fees of up to 100%; there is a sliding scale dependent on family income and finances.
As a general rule, it is unlikely that a bursary will be awarded when family income is greater than four times the school fees. It is possible, indeed not unusual, for a bursary holder to have a scholarship. In such circumstances, 20% of the fees would be covered by the scholarship; any bursary funding further to this would, of course, be means-tested.
If you wish to be considered for bursarial assistance, please indicate that interest on the application form and the relevant paperwork will be sent to you. A detailed Application for Financial Assistance form – covering all aspects of your family’s finances – would need to be filled out and sent to the Bursar.
To supplement the School’s bursary provision, the Worshipful Company of Dyers, through its charitable trust, is able to give financial support to a pupil with all round talent at both 11+ and 16+. The criteria for the Dyers’ Bursary Scheme are similar to those outlined above and potential applicants should simply register interest in bursarial assistance on the application form. The Registrar will inform you of eligibility at a later stage.
In addition to the above arrangements, the school has an association with the Ogden Trust which is able to give financial support to selected Sixth Form pupils who join us from the state sector with primary academic strengths in mathematics and applied sciences. The Trust’s financial criteria are similar to our own. If you register an interest in general bursarial assistance at 16+ entry, the Registrar will inform you of your eligibility for the Ogden scheme at a later stage. Do telephone the Registrar if you have particular queries on 01603 728449.
