Access to Alex
As part of our mission of creating and maintaining an inclusive learning environment, we believe that students from all backgrounds should be able to access an Alex education.
Access to Alex, our newly-launched programme, provides passionate students with full tuition and boarding from 1st to 6th Year. Successful candidates will reside in our state of the art boarding facilities at the heart of the campus.
Access to Alex is awarded on the basis of academic ambition, means, and a love of learning; this programme is means-tested for any successful candidates.
The Details
Access to Alex covers tuition and boarding fees from 1st to 6th Year, as well as access to our broad extra-curricular music, drama and sport programmes, where applicable.
