I applied and have just been offered a place, I've not visited yet though, I'm thinking Duff Miller might be better so I'm going to wait before I start throwing the thousand pound deposit around. The principal was lovely for my interview, though.

awesome! I'm actually thinking about applying through a scholarship/bursary.
what area do you live in? Maybe we could go together. I'm planning on going in February half term .
I didn't apply for a bursary, I'm not sure I'd quality (I'm guessing you'd need multiple A*s at GCSE and a family income below the average), so I can't give advice on that but I'm near Lancaster, I've got permission of absence for visits (Chelsea, Duff, Cheltenham and Stonyhurst), I hate Stonyhurst though I've been told Chelsea and duff are quite down to earth but I know people at Stonyhurst and they are the definition of elitists.
Where are you located?

The income is more important but grades I think is what they really care about. I think I'm in a safe place.
I'm still not sure whether I want to go to a private school. There's quite a lot of stigma attached to private schools and it also closes opportunities that only accept only state Scholl students.
I really just want to see how the college is. Facilities etc
Have you never thought about going to a state college ?
I've only ever been in church schools so I don't know what private education is like, but the facilities seem amazing, I gather the teachers are top notch (Oxford and Cambridge graduates), class sizes average 8, and the boarding houses look wonderful.
I want to study art history and I can only find it at private colleges, so I don't have much choice, but as for stigma I kind of understand, but I can't imagine any opportunities only available for state students, if anything it's evident private school students get an unfair advantage at getting into the Russell Group universities.

What makes you think the Facilities are amazing ? I haVent seen any evidence of this.
Opportunities like what sutton trust hold (trips to America etc) are only for state kids
Btw. I live in London
The small class is defo an advantage
Original post by psh
The facilities to me are more the close proximity to the galleries, but I know their science department is supposed to be one of the best in the country.
ive not heard of that trust, must not be a catholic school thing

Hi gyus! I am considering Duff Miller and CIC too, however, I am unsure if I will qualify for a bursary ( I am from the EU) and I would like to know what is considered as a family income below average in the UK?
THANKS

£17,000? I don't know. This is a somewhat educated guess.

I might be starting Duff Miller in September, does anyone know what the students are like there? or what the school is like? It looks very very small! Was offered a place in the interview but now don't know whether to accept or not. However in response to the disadvantage of gaining a place at a university due to attending an independent school, Cambridge has 60% state school students and 40% private however, in perspective, 95% of the country attends state schools whereas only 5% attend private so in perspective the numbers don't really place independent schools at a disadvantage
