Bright and able children are being given the chance to attend one of three private schools due to a new bursary scheme.

The House Schools Trust is made up of three schools: Prospect House in Putney, Orchard House in Chiswick and Bassett House in West Kensington. Bursaries will be given to 7/8-year-olds or those who are considered Year 3.
