Applying for a prep school bursary

29 replies

diamondsinthesand · 07/04/2013 12:45

Can anyone advise on realistic chances of a sizable prep school bursary? Does your dc have to be brilliant? We've been trying for a few but no success and getting discouraged now. Dc is very high IQ but falling behind in huge state primaryclass and no sport at the school either - with 1hr school run theres not alot of time for afterschool classes.

Should we just keep trying or give up and accept its too difficult? Its an exhausting struggle to stay positive.
Thinking of different state primary - better one - and then trying again in a year or two but could be disruptive changing schools so often. Am I just in a dreamland about the possibility of hugely assisted place?
All thoughts/comments welcome.

This is a helpful video that talks about life as a chorister and what they are looking for in applicants.

Ds wants to be a jockey or a formua 1 driver.

More chance of Formula 1 driver as most musicians too scared of injury to ride!

bisjo - our ds's sound v similar..!
DS has just returned from his 3rd week riding out for different racehorse trainers (last one 8 hours by train away!) He is convinced hes going to be the next AP.
We see him as the next 'singing' jockeySmile
