Supporting talented local children to reach their full potential

The CV34 Award Programme is means-tested financial assistance for families in Warwick with a CV34 postcode. We will cover up to 100% of fees plus associated schooling costs depending on financial eligibility and your child meeting the entry requirements to the school of their choice at either 11+ or 16+.

At Warwick Schools Foundation, our vision is to support as many young people as possible to reach their full potential and encourage lifelong learning regardless of background. One of the ways we are doing this is by broadening access for talented local children to an independent school education. As part of the town of Warwick, we strive to have a meaningful impact on the local area and reflect the communities we serve. 

What is the CV34 Award Programme?

Warwick Schools Foundation, benefits from a scheme offering the possibility of free or discounted places based on financial need for candidates at 11+ and 16+. Within the bursaries available from the Foundation is the CV34 Award. These funds are specifically earmarked for children whose families live within the CV34 postcode and we are grateful to King Henry VIII Endowed Trust and The Charity of Sir Thomas White, Warwick for their financial support.

The support available is based on a combination of the following: 

• Financial need - determined by a means testing assessment
• Your child's performance - based on exam results, the interview and the report received from your child's current school
• Overall demand - bursaries are awarded on a competitive basis, as limited funds are available.

Pupils awarded a CV34 Award may also be entitled to additional financial support for educational visits, uniforms, transport and lunches. 

Over 17% of pupils across the Foundation are recipients of some financial assistance and we are proud of the creativity, diversity and ambition within our community.
