Scholarships &
Bursaries
Year
2022
Each year, we award a number of scholarships and bursaries for 11+ and 16+ entry. Bursaries take into account the family’s income and financial resources and may be worth up to 100% of the school fees. Scholarships are based on exceptional merit in a number of fields – Academic, Music, Art, Drama (Art and Drama at 16+ only) and Sport (at 11+ only).
Types offered
Music Scholarships may be awarded at Year 7 (for seven years). They are prestigious awards which provide talented young musicians with a broad range of outstanding musical opportunities which support and develop their musical progression.
Our Music Scholars are expected to participate fully in the musical life of the school. They should be members of all ensembles appropriate to their instrumental speciality and will have plentiful solo performance opportunities, including regular performances at lunchtime recitals and teatime concerts.
Their musical development will be supported with free weekly coaching sessions with one of our piano teachers. These can be used for practising pieces with piano accompaniment and for musicianship and general coaching.
Music Scholars must remain members of one of the school’s choirs throughout their time in the school. They are expected to take a lead in all musical activities and they should set a good example in participation, punctuality and general conduct.
Development Awards may also be available for promising musicians working towards scholarship level. This includes free tuition on one instrument up to the termly value of the amount charged by our visiting teachers (£290 per term for 2021/2022). This can be an instrument studied either with a teacher outside school or at school and payments will be made directly to individual teachers.
Sports Scholarships may be awarded in Year 7. They are prestigious awards which provide talented young sportswomen with a broad range of opportunities to support and develop their progression in sport. Awards are made on the basis of current playing ability in a chosen sport(s) as well as potential and likely contribution to the sporting life of the school.
There is no minimum requirement in order to apply for a Sports Scholarship, although it is suggested the applicant will be playing or training in the sport(s) outside of school in a club environment and be competing on a regular basis in their
chosen sport(s) at club standard or above.
Sports Scholarships will be offered for those competing in our main sports of games (netball, football or cricket), aesthetics (gymnastics or dance) and athletics (track, field or cross-country). If your daughter competes in a variety of sports, she might apply for an all-round sports scholarship.
Our assessment day will involve:
- A series of fitness tests
- Skills, drills or choreography
- Full games or performance
- A short interview with the Sports Department
Sports Scholars can expect a rich programme designed to help them improve their knowledge and understanding of how to train in their chosen field and balance academic work and other commitments.
