Give your child a brighter future

Kip Scholarship 2008

In April 2007 we adopted a scholarship format which has run successfully for many years at Kip McGrath Education Centres in New Zealand. Each term we offer a scholarship to a different Chorley primary school. This entitles one student to a full term’s weekly tuition in English or maths, at absolutely no cost.

Mrs Fiona Pattison, deputy headteacher:

"We were really pleased to be selected for the scholarship. Lots of children applied. The young lady chosen has continued to grow in confidence. We would only be too pleased to apply for the scholarship again in the near future."

Mrs Sharon Franklin, headteacher:

"Kip Scholarship has been a very positive support to the children's learning. The administration process is not an onerous one and is far outweighed by the benefits to the children."
