Fee Assistance

The Advisors of Dolphin School recognise that independent school fees are now at levels that exclude many children from a Dolphin education. To help parents, Dolphin has some capacity to offer financial assistance to help with fees in the form of means-tested bursaries.

Bursaries are considered for children entering Year 5 or above and who would benefit from the education that the school provides. They take into account a family's financial circumstances and are subject to the completion of a comprehensive means-tested bursary application form. Academic assessment is via our normal admissions route, together with a report from the child's current school.

For more information please contact our Bursar, bursar@dolphinschool.com

The deadline to submit bursary applications for September 2025 is 13 December 2024. Bursary applications should be sent to bursar@dolphinschool.com

I was very nervous when starting at Dolphin School. I had no idea how fantastic the next two years of my life would be. Even to this day, I look back and fill with joy because I was able to be part of such a supporting and unique family. The teachers helped me to develop my talents in sports and pursue titles in athletics, rugby and football. Dolphin also introduced me to new activities such as acting, where I was fortunate enough to play big roles in the school's productions. I travelled many times with the school and experienced a lot of things that the majority of children at that age are unable to experience. Dolphin School had a large impact on my life and helped shape the person I am today.
