DS went for assessment 7+ and the school said that he did well in assessment and would like to offer a place, but as we applied for a bursary they would need to consider how much bursary they could offer and send an offer for a place TOGETHER with the bursary offer. We all met the HT..it was positive and hopeful. Then we followed procedure: submitted Bursary application, waited for about 3 weeks and then the reply said that we do not qualify for a bursary, no reasons stated. Nothing mentions if DS still has a place on a fee paying basis. Feel very disappointed that we had ( unreasonably?) so much hope. I feel perhaps we should have booked an appointment with the bursar, go through details, show are keen interest etc? Just seems so abrupt...after having the meeting with HT, discussions, extensive evidence of our financial circumstances etc Would it simply mean that 1) they are not interested in DS? 2) Their financial circumstances changed? 3) I overestimated our real chances with the bursary?
