Dave Thorne Bursary
The Oxfordshire Outdoor Learning Trust provides financial support for individuals through the Dave Thorne Bursary.
Bursaries are available to Oxfordshire children and young people who the school deems would directly benefit from financial support to attend a course at Kilvrough Manor, Woodlands, Yenworthy Lodge or Hill End.
Schools should apply directly to the OOLT, using the form in the attached document and providing the information requested. Bursaries are approximately 50% of the 5 day charge and can be requested for more than one child. Payment is made to the school, following the residential visit and on receipt of the impact pro forma, which should be returned to the OOLT.
Details of this Bursary and how to access it are in the documents below.
