If you are at a fee paying school, do children know?

DD is 6 and currently Y1 at a fee paying school that ends at Y2.
I have been to open days for the next schools and a headmaster has said how they want the children to know they are in a privileged position.
Also heard another mum state that if her child gets a scholarship she has promised them 10% of what they save.
Should the children know about fees/scholarships/bursaries and at what age should they know?

happy I didn't mean the dc on bursaries don't all know they are, I'm positive they do. I was referring to other people knowing whether dc are in receipt of bursary funding.

I also agree it's not the case that all bursary dc are all top all of the time. There are plenty of fee payers in that category too. More the case that fee payers range across the ability range (for the school) whilst bursary pupils don't.

I sure others dont know for definite who's on a bursary and who isn't although having said this it's pretty obvious who definitely isn't. IME of DS2's school, those who I know are in receipt of a bursary also range across the abilty range all be it narrow ability range.
