Bursaries

We are currently welcoming bursary applications for 2027 for LC1 (Year 7/11+) Day & Boarding and Sixth Form (16+) Day & Boarding. Please see the Key Dates and application process below.

Step 1: Make an enquiry with the Admissions Team

If you are considering applying for a Beale Award, please complete our Beale Award Enquiry Form well in advance of the point that you are looking to join.

This will give our team the initial information they need to support you through your Beale Award application and give you the greatest chance of being considered for the funds available.

Applications are accepted from families where the fee-paying parent(s) are resident in the UK for tax purposes.

Step 2: Complete a Registration Form

After an initial conversation with our Admissions Team, families interested in applying for a Beale Award will be asked to complete our Beale Award Registration Form through our Admission Portal.

There is a £12 fee to pay at the point you initially register, and subsequent admissions/acceptance fees and deposits will be pro-rated in line with any financial award offered. More details are available in our fees section. If you are not offered a place at College as part of the Beale Award process then the registration fee of £12 will be fully refunded to the original payment source. 

Step 3 onwards: Means Testing and Entry Process

The Admissions Team will guide you through the rest of the process. The percentage of fees support provided is determined through our financial means-testing process. Awards granted consider both your financial circumstances and your daughter's performance in her written entrance tests and interviews.

CLC offers an enriching Scholarship Programme with a wealth of opportunities aimed at stretching and developing individual talent for the benefit of the whole community. 

Scholarship Awards do not carry fee remission but families can apply for assistance with fees through the Beale Award scheme. 

All financial awards are means tested and include pro-rated assistance towards the additional costs of attending, including uniform and co-curricular activities. For the full list of extras and details of inclusions, please request a copy of the Bursary Extras document from the Admissions Department. 

The percentage award your daughter has been offered will be reviewed annually as part of the College’s normal financial review processes which ensure that support continues to be allocated fairly and responsibly.

Where a family’s financial circumstances remain broadly the same, the level of support would normally be expected to continue at a similar level. If circumstances change, the level of support may increase or decrease, and should your circumstances change mid-year we encourage you to contact us so we can discuss what interim support may be available.

For full guidance, please request a copy of our Bursaries Policy from our Admissions team.

Over the years we have supported a number of military families through means-tested bursaries.

CLC do not offer a set reduction in fees for military families, instead, we recommend you apply for a Beale Award.

For more details on means-tested bursaries, please request a copy of our Bursaries Policy and Procedure and Bursary Extras from the Admissions Department.
