Supporting talented children to attend Pocklington School is central to our mission and ethos.  Pocklington has a long tradition of providing bursarial/financial support to families with limited means. Our aim is for pupils to benefit for years to come from all the opportunities that Pocklington has to offer, no matter what their background or financial means.

Fee Assistance 

Fee assistance is allocated on a means-tested basis.

A number of bursaries are available to external or internal candidates and may be awarded in the form of a discount of up to 100% of the day fees payable depending on the financial, compassionate or other pertinent circumstances of applicants.

Applications will be considered from any young person who meets our entry requirements and who is likely to benefit from the opportunities presented by Pocklington School. Applicants are encouraged to demonstrate artistic, sporting or musical ability to enhance the quality of their applications.

Potential applicants for bursaries are encouraged to contact our Admissions Officer or email.

I was very keen to take advantage of the academic and co-curricular opportunities available at Pocklington, from helping with the Science Club, preparing for my LAMDA exam, joining in School plays and enjoying both athletics and the Combined Cadet Force. Whilst I was there, not only did I have a brilliant time, but the skills it gave me in terms of time management and achieving a good work-life balance have been invaluable. Looking back I see how it was fantastic preparation for life after school, and the work ethic it instilled in me enabled me to achieve a First Class Certification at Medical School. The fee assistance which allowed me to attend Pocklington School was a life changing opportunity.  The teachers are truly focused on the individual – helping you in every way possible to achieve your ambitions and become a well-rounded, compassionate individual.

Since primary school my dream has been to be a barrister, and I knew that strong academic results and a varied co-curricular record were essential if I was to stand a chance of entering into this competitive profession. In making the decision between training to be a barrister or a solicitor it is also essential to have relevant work experience so that you can make an informed choice about which path to follow. Pocklington felt like home from the first time I visited, and I was sure from the outset that it could provide me with the opportunity to succeed in my professional ambitions. The alumni network turned out to be invaluable as I was able to complete several work experience placements before I even applied for university, which is very unusual in the legal profession.  I am confident that had I not received fee assistance I would not be where I am today.

Studying at Pocklington School led me to the best two years of my life.  I truly believe my experience was life-changing. I feel very fortunate and grateful to have experienced both the Pocklington School community and the relationships I developed. I would recommend that everyone seize the opportunity if they get the chance.
