Ardingly is committed to broadening access to the College for talented children who, for financial reasons, would otherwise not be able to benefit from an Ardingly education.
Bursaries are subject to a detailed annual review of the parents’ financial circumstances. All applications for bursaries must be for children who are scholars, or in receipt of an equivalent award; the College offers scholarships for excellence in academic studies, music, art, drama, dance and sport.
For more detailed information, see the Bursaries Policy below and please send any questions you have to our Admissions team on registrations@ardingly.com.
Transformational Bursaries
Each year, Ardingly offers a limited number of transformational bursaries, specifically for young people who have experienced a significant disadvantage, or who have been displaced. This programme offers fully funded (100%+ bursaries) to students throughout their time at the College.
The route to gain entry onto the transformational bursary programme is via The Royal National Children’s Springboard Foundation. For more information about the application process, please read our Transformational Bursaries Policy below.

Solomiia's Story
Solomiia, a refugee from the Ukraine, joined the College on a full bursary after the outbreak of war in her home country. Remarkably, in the circumstances, she managed to achieve all
9s and 8s in her GCSES at Ardingly just a year later:
“I managed to get excellent results in one year thanks to hard work, the support of my parents, the faith in me from my sponsors, as well as the wonderful teachers from Ardingly
College who helped and motivated me throughout the entire educational process.”
Solomiia, Sixth Form Pupil
