Variation of question that's been asked before: sending 3 to London day primary. Do bursary thresholds vary by number of children?

[BendyBusBuggy]

I've read the previous threads saying it's hard to give an income ceiling because so many factors are at play. But does anyone know if bursars take the number of children into account? I don't mean in the sense that you have to feed three hungry mouths, but more if we wanted to send all three to the same school, with everything else being equal, would that influence the 'ceiling'?

Eh... I meant secondary!!

At my dds school it is higher for 2 or 3 children, but you get no more for more than 3. It does depend on the school though

Thank you starving

Some schools actually like having several children of the same family. Others will allow DC1's fees to be deducted from the family income ceiling when calculating the bursary for DC2.

I know a school where the eldest was given a 50%. He turned out to be very bright, and so the 2 younger DCs were also given 50%. The youngest was only in YR. Not in London though.

Thank you didofido, that's really helpful
