Admissions
If you would like to apply for a bursary boarding place, please contact The Royal National Children’s Springboard Foundation who manage Bursary applications for Holyport College.
Please note that bursary applications for September 2026 entry have now closed and any bursary should be applied for at least 12 months in advance of entry.
Please read the information below from Springboard which outlines eligibility for the Boarding-school programme.
A boarding school education can offer transformational benefits and opportunities to children facing a wide range of vulnerabilities in their home circumstances or whose early childhoods have been traumatic.
We broker boarding places at schools around the UK and provide continuing support to help children transition to and thrive throughout their school journey.
