Music Scholarships
Music Scholarships and Music Exhibitions are available by audition, following the entrance exam, for students wishing to join the School in Year 7 (aged 11).
They are awarded to those students who demonstrate a high level of performance and potential. 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.
