Financial Support at Whalley Range Sixth Form

From bursary funding to free school meals and travel, learn more about how to support yourself financially whilst at college.

The Sixth Form team will always do our best to support students wherever possible. Should any student be suffering financial hardship we would encourage them to speak to one of the team.

Bursary Fund

The 16-19 Bursary Fund is provided by the Government to support students who may encounter financial barriers to their education.

Food Banks

A list of local organisations providing food and essentials for families to make use of in the local area.

Free Bus Travel for Young People (Our Pass & Igo Card)

Our Pass and the igo card offer young people free bus travel on local bus services across Greater Manchester, making it easier to access education, work, training, culture and leisure opportunities in the city/region.

Hardship Support

Because some families are facing additional financial challenges, Manchester City Council (MCC) want to provide support to families who need it the most.

Is your Child Entitled to Free School Meals?

We encourage all parents/carers to check if their child is entitled to free school meals (FSM). Being registered for free school meals benefits the student and the school.
