Our Bursaries

Bursaries at Christ’s Hospital

Christ’s Hospital is unlike any other independent school in the UK; our means-tested bursaries are granted to 650 of our 900 students, which means they receive a free or reduced-cost place, based on their family income and circumstances.

Christ’s Hospital was established over 470 years ago as a charitable boarding school and is proud to maintain its founding principles and ethos. It offers a boarding education of the strongest quality to children with academic potential, from all backgrounds, in a caring and supportive environment.

Reduced fees and free places are available for boarding places. If you apply for a place you will be assessed according to your means. Families on very low incomes may also be assisted with the cost of pocket money, House Funds, travel costs and sports wear.
