Scholarships

A number of academic scholarships are awarded each year in recognition of an outstanding performance in the 11+ Entrance Examination. They are awarded to boys and girls aged 11 entering the school at the start of Year 7.

Pupils gaining an academic scholarship are automatically enrolled on our Challenge & Enrichment Programme. A scholarship award usually attracts a fee remission of around £1,000 per annum in recognition of the pupil's achievement. This amount is deducted from the termly fees. Subject to good conduct and progress, academic scholarships are tenable throughout the holder’s career in the school. 

Music Scholarships and Music Exhibitions are available following an audition to candidates sitting the 11+ Entrance Examination (aged 11).

Applicants should have obtained a standard of at least Associated Board grade 3 or its equivalent in their main instrument (including voice). Following the Entrance Examination, pupils are invited to audition in early February for the Music Scholarships and Exhibitions.  Applicants awarded a Music Scholarship will typically receive a fee remission of around £1,000 per annum and Scholarships are tenable throughout the holder’s time in the Senior Division, subject to a full contribution to the music of the school. Successful applicants are expected to play a full role in the musical life of the school, leading from the front.

A small number of Music Exhibitions are also available and will be awarded to candidates following the auditions. Music Exhibitions are designed to cover the cost of music tuition and are valued at £750 per annum. Exhibitions are tenable throughout the holder’s career in the Seniors, subject to a full contribution to the music of the school.

An Organ Scholarship is also available at the discretion of the Director of Music.

Those wishing to apply for a Music Scholarship should submit a Music Scholarship Application Form.
