Old Palace School bursaries

[Autumnchills]

I noticed that Old Palace School have said on their website that they are not offering any bursaries for Sept 24 entry. Does anyone know why?? Their bursaries are funded by the Whitgift Foundation. The Foundation is still providing bursaries for Trinity and Whitgift, what gives? 🤔

Truly truly awful!!!

Jesus Christ, poor, poor girl.

Terrible news on top of what has already been a shocking week for the Old Palace community

I can't stop thinking about that poor girl.

I understand that the girl who was killed was the friend of the killers ex-girlfriend. Standing up for her friend - the values of standing up for others that OP taught so well. Devastated for her and her family and for her poor friend who saw it happen.

Just the most awful news - poor poor girl.

I also can't stop thinking about it. Utterly tragic, poor child. May she rest in peace.

Hi all, my daughter is due to sit her GCSEs this May and attends Old Palace School of John Whitgift. I've been paying Alumnae fees into the Whitgift Foundation and the school announced that it is due to close in 2025. Given that there will no longer be an alumnae, I should get a refund back on the amounts paid over the last 5 years. I've emailed the Foundation a few times, but no response. Any suggestions on what I should do, I'm not the only parent asking.

@Meleena I think you will get the best advice if you start a new thread on this. You could try posting in money matters or legal advice topics as well as in secondary education. Good luck

@SprogTakesAQuarry thank you, not sure how to use this platform so probably reaching out to the wrong audience - will take a look at money matters too
