Academic Scholarships are awarded:
All-Rounder Awards are made on the basis of the Year 7 and Year 9 admissions procedure, i.e. at point of entry, to pupils of high academic ability who are also likely to make a substantial contribution to the wider life of the school.
Governors’ Presentation Awards are similarly made to a pupil on being offered a place in Year 7 or Year 9 in recognition of talent and potential which might develop into the eventual award of a Scholarship.
Music, Art and Sport Scholarships are available to internal and external candidates at 13+ and 16+ by application.
Drama Scholarships are available at 16+ to internal and external candidates by application.
All Scholarships (including All-Rounder Awards and Governors’ Presentation Awards) are honorary in nature and do not carry a financial benefit. The only exception to this is for Music Scholarships, which include financial recompense to the value of a year’s tuition (30 lessons) in one instrument.
For financial assessment with fees, please look at our means-tested Bursary Scheme.Â
