Chafyn Grove is a non-selective day and boarding prep in Salisbury, with wraparound and boarding options extending its practical reach for local families. Published financial-support material confirms scholarships and means-tested bursaries, with awards reviewed against family circumstances and available funds.

Chafyn Grove publishes both scholarships and means-tested bursaries. School information also points to a strong record of scholarship and Common Entrance success, supported by a clear academic-tracking system.

• New applicants after a place has been offered and the registration fee paid; hardship support may also be considered for existing pupils.
• The school publishes a policy and fees page, but no standard remission percentage is published.
• Families should follow the school’s bursary policy and discuss the process with the bursar or admissions team.

The latest published ISI report is the May 2023 focused compliance and educational quality inspection. Inspectors judged both pupils' academic achievements and their personal development good, while recommending stronger consistency in marking and assessment, more leadership opportunities for younger pupils and greater confidence among boarders in how they treat one another.

Chafyn Grove says progress is benchmarked at regular intervals with CAT4 standardised assessment alongside continual teacher review. The school presents this as part of a broader approach that balances formal tracking with day-to-day knowledge of each child.
