Pupil Premium

In our Admissions Policy, Pupil Premium girls are given priority after the first round of 11+ testing, irrespective of where they live. This means that if a Pupil Premium candidate is ranked in the top 300 in the first round test, then she will be offered a place at the school, in accordance with our Admissions Policy. The only additional stipulation is that the parents have to provide written proof of Pupil Premium eligibility. We strongly recommend that parents who feel that they may be entitled to Free School Meals apply for this when their child is still in primary school, as their eligibility has to be approved before they apply for a place at HBS, in order to take advantage of the priority given to Pupil Premium candidates in the entrance test.

Current parents of the school are also recommended to apply for Free School Meal (FSM) funding if they feel they may be eligible. Their child will then be entitled to the same benefits. You can find out more about FSM funding here.

If you are an existing parent/carer who is not eligible for Pupil Premium funding but feel that your family’s financial circumstances are creating a barrier to your child thriving at school, please do contact the school and your query will be handled sensitively and in confidence.
