Funding Bursaries

St Edward’s is committed to ensuring that as many young people as possible from all backgrounds are able to benefit from a Teddies education. We show this commitment by giving free and subsidised places to a significant number of our pupils.

Critically during these uncertain economic times, the School is ambitious to make ever greater efforts to address the growing inequalities that are becoming increasingly prevalent during the cost of living crisis. As an independent education becomes more of a stretch, if not an impossibility for so many, the Governors have committed to growing the number of substantial means-tested bursaries available.

Currently around 100 pupils receive fee support at varying levels, and we would like to increase this to 160 pupils (equivalent to 1 in 5 pupils) in the coming years. Our commitment to bursaries dates back to the School’s origins and remains part of our charitable purpose today.

If you would like to discuss any aspect of our Bursary programme in more detail, including how to attract bright and ambitious young people to join Teddies on a substantial bursary, please do email beyondteddies@stedwardsoxford.org or call Rachael Henshilwood on +44 (0) 1865 319 438.
