Firstly, and most importantly our only admission criteria for a regular school place is “do you like music?”

If they can answer yes to that, then you’re already most of the way there.

At Kimichi, bursaries are funded directly by the school; there isn’t a separate pot.

In return, we ask bursary pupils to give back to our community in positive ways (e.g., leading ensembles, helping at events, mentoring younger pupils).

It’s part of our culture of support and shared responsibility.
