Foundation Awards > The Manor House Award

A group of Manor House old boys, led by Nick Sanderson has got together to create a bursary to support promising boys with places at Manor House. The scheme forms part of the wider, means-tested Foundation Awards programme and is aimed at boys who could not otherwise enjoy a Tonbridge education

The scheme

• An ongoing award of a place at Manor House for a boy who will clearly benefit from the experience.
• Parents or guardians will be means-tested and fee remission will be up to 100% - a little less than this where at all possible, as we believe some financial commitment to a child's education engenders a greater sense of ownership.
• Selection of candidates will be overseen by the Headmaster. Individuals will win places because the school has spotted their passion and potential. Interviews will be an important part of the process. There must be a clear financial need.
• Supporters of the scheme will be acknowledged within the house.

Timing

We aim to offer the first award in 2010, or before.

Finance

Initially, we aim to raise enough to fund one ongoing Foundationer place, sharing the cost of fees with the school itself. Beyond this, we want to expand the fund until we can offer a Foundation Award each year.

How you can help

We need donations. If you are a friend of the House - an OT, parent or past parent - and you share our belief that what Manor House has to offer is so good it should be shared a little more widely (and that this in turn will benefit the House), then please give and help to grow the fund.
