16–19 Bursary
The 16–19 Bursary Fund helps support Post‑16 students at John Taylor Free School who may need financial assistance.. We understand that there can be costs associated with continuing in education, and this fund is designed to help ensure that all students are able to access their learning, attend regularly and take part fully in school life.
Who is Eligible
Support may be available to students who need financial assistance to continue their education. This includes:
- Students who are in care or are care leavers
- Students receiving income or disability support
- Students from low‑income households (subject to assessment)
How Funding is Awarded
We consider each application individually, taking into account a student’s circumstances and the number of applications received.
The fund helps students access and remain engaged in their education. The level of support varies according to individual need.
Bursary payments are linked to attendance and engagement. If attendance becomes a concern, funding may be reviewed.
What the bursary can be used for
The 16–19 Bursary Fund helps with costs that may otherwise make it difficult for students to take part fully in school life.
This may include:
- Clothing that meets the Post‑16 dress code
- Books and other equipment needed for courses
- Transport to and from school
- Meals during the school day
