Butler Bursary

The Butler Bursary is an exciting initiative to widen access to Heathfield St Mary’s School, generously funded through the recent merger of Heathfield School and St Mary’s Wantage and is named after the founder of St Mary’s, the Reverend William Butler.
The Butler Bursary will greatly enhance the lives of girls joining the School and applies to those entering Year 7 (Form I) or Year 9 (Form III) commencing September 2007. This means-tested bursary is for up to 50% of the academic and boarding fees and will continue for the duration of a girl’s education up to and including Year 11 (Form V). Places are limited.
