Bursary Funding

Applications are currently open

Bursary applications can be made by ticking the box below and answering all the questions.

Once submitted, you will receive an automated email within a few minutes from '[email protected]' (please check junk and spam folder) with the next steps that need completing before your application can be considered by the monthly Bursary Panel.

We do not have an estimated timeframe for you to receive notification of the Bursary Panel’s decision as it is dependent on funding availability.


PLEASE BE PATIENT AND WAIT FOR US TO CONTACT YOU.


You may be eligible for a bursary if you are:

  • a low-income household
  • in receipt of means-tested state benefits
  • qualifying for Pupil Premium Funding (free school meals)

Please be advised that there is no guarantee that your application will be successful or that we can match the amount of funding that you request.


Would you like to be considered for bursary funding?


  • Tell us what difference you think our service that you are applying for (assessment/tuition/consultation) would make to your/your child’s life?
  • Tell us about the challenges faced and what you hope will change in context of home, education, work, and leisure.
If you would prefer to discuss this, rather than write it down, please feel free to contact us on 01252 792 400 or [email protected].

To ensure our bursaries are used for those with the greatest financial need, please explain your financial circumstances by answering as fully as possible.

Please note that if you fail to provide all the required financial information, your booking enquiry with bursary application will be rejected and you will need to start the whole process again.


Please note that we may also request copies of relevant paperwork to support bursary applications.

Fees for individual services are listed on our website. These include:
Dyslexia Assessment with Specialist Assessor £699 (child); £736 (adult).
Dyslexia Assessment with Education Psychologist £962 (all ages).
Tuition £66 an hour.

Please note that assessment payments can be made in up to 3 instalments before the assessment date. Tuition payments can be made at regular intervals and sessions are invoiced monthly after they take place.

All information you provide will be treated in strict confidence and will be used solely for the purpose of assessing your bursary application. Our Privacy Policy can be found here.
