Year 9 Bursaries

Exciting News for September 2026!

Here at Dolphin School, we are delighted to announce the introduction of our inaugural Year 9 cohort for September 2026, extending our unique educational journey beyond Year 8 for the first time. We will be following the International Baccalaureate’s Middle Years Programme as a meaningful alternative to the mainstream GCSE curriculum for Years 9-11 at Dolphin.

To celebrate this milestone, we are offering up to four bursaries for pupils joining Year 9 next September.

These bursaries are designed to make a Dolphin education accessible to talented and motivated students who will thrive in our distinctive environment. They may cover a significant portion of school fees and are awarded based on a combination of academic potential, enthusiasm for learning, and alignment with our school values.

Dolphin School is proudly different. Our ethos is built on the core values of Freedom, Discovery, Challenge, Confidence and Kindness, which are lived out every day. From our extensive and varied trips programme, subject specialist teaching from nursery upwards, and our distinctive lack of uniform, to the first-name terms between students and teachers, Dolphin offers an education that is as individual as each child.

This is an exceptional opportunity to join a school that values curiosity, creativity, and confidence—and we cannot wait to begin this new chapter.
