Academic scholarships , ranging in value from 10% to 50% of fees, are awarded at ages 11 and 13, on the basis of performance in the entrance examinations.

Scholarships are also awarded for Music, Drama, Art, Sport and Design Technology, based on interview and/or audition, supported by school reports and a folio of supporting evidence.

Sixth Form scholarships to a maximum of 50% are also available, based on GCSE results, with specific awards available for Music, Drama, Art, Sport and Design Technology. All scholarships are tenable throughout the holder’s time at the School, subject to satisfactory progress, conduct and participation.

Dates of forthcoming Entrance and Scholarship Examinations, normally held in January, are available from the Admissions Secretary and Registrar Caroline Bailey.

Financial assistance may be available in the form of a means-tested bursary, renewable annually, dependent upon parents’ financial circumstances and on completion of a confidential statement of such circumstances. Forms are available from the Bursary.

Members of HM Forces are requested to contact the Admissions Secretary and Registrar for details of the favourable bursary arrangements for Service personnel who qualify for the Boarding Schools’ Allowance [BSA] for their children.
