Scholarships and Bursaries
Excellence in its many forms is at the heart of Kingham Hill School’s success; the kernel of this excellence is our programme of Scholarships. The School recognises and rewards those who display talent and consistently strive for the highest standards through their endeavours and demonstrate servant-heartedness to the rest of the school community.

Bursaries
The Dean Close Foundation offers a limited number of bursaries each year to pupils who would benefit from a Kingham Hill education but who are unable to afford the full fees. The number of children that we are able to help is limited to funds provided by the Foundation.
Bursaries are only available for pupils normally resident in the UK, for a maximum of 40% of fees and are means tested. In cases of particular need, the school can suggest a number of grant making trusts that may offer additional bursaries.
Bursary applications are made through our secure online portal. You will be required to create an account, through which you can submit and upload all the information required. For more information on bursary funding, please contact Mathew Madeley, Parent Finance Manager at mmadeley@deanclose.org.uk.
Please note that in order to apply for a Bursary, your child must be formally registered for a place at the school, or a current pupil.
2026 Entry
Please note that the Scholarship application deadline for 1st & 3rd Form has now passed.
The Scholarship application deadline for Lower Sixth is Monday 19th January 2026.
