Bursaries for School Visits

Thanks to some generous donations, we are able to offer bursaries to eligible schools.

COAM Bursary

If your school has a relatively high number of students receiving pupil premium (22% or greater), you can apply for a bursary to cover the costs of your chosen activities.

If your school is primarily focused on SEND, is a Pupil Referral Unit or Hospital School, you can apply for a bursary to cover the cost of your chosen activities.

If your school operates an inclusion programme or club, you can apply for a bursary to bring those students to COAM.

If your school doesn’t meet the criteria above, but you feel there is a good case for receiving a bursary, please contact us to discuss further. 

Local School Bursary

If your school is local to COAM, you can apply for a bursary to cover the cost of your chosen activities.  

Funding is limited and bursaries are therefore awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.  Please mention your interest in a bursary at the time of booking. If you are unsuccessful in applying for bursary funding, you may choose whether you would like to continue with a paid booking or to cancel your booking at the provisional stage, with no costs incurred to your school.
