Kingswood School seeks to provide financial assistance towards the cost of fees in cases where it is felt an individual would particularly benefit from access to the School, and where there is proven need of the family's inability to afford full fees. This assistance comes in the form of bursaries. The School has no wealthy endowment so there are restrictions on the number and size of the bursaries available. The School reserves the right to vary the value and number of bursaries according to the strength of applications and the number of bursary holders already within the School. Bursaries are not available for pupils attending the Kingswood Preparatory School unless there are very exceptional reasons involved.

Normally bursaries range between 10% and 50% remission from fees, but, in very exceptional circumstances, larger bursaries can be awarded. In some cases, the School will also work with a charity, such as the Methodist Central Bursary Fund or the Joint Educational Trust (JET), so that additional financial assistance beyond the School's contribution is available. Charities which offer bursarial assistance have their own criteria which must be met by parents.

Bursary forms and a detailed booklet which provides full details of the application process are available from the Admissions Office (telephone 01225 734210 or email admissions@kingswood.bath.sch.uk).
