The full range of scholarships below are available for Sixth Form applicants. All students must also meet the necessary academic requirements.
Academic
All candidates who apply for a Sixth Form place will automatically be considered for scholarship entry based on their performance in the entrance assessments. There is no separate application process. Candidates who have performed exceptionally well may be invited back for a scholarship interview. From this, a scholarship offer may be made.
Art, Design & Technology and Drama
An assessment process for these takes place in February of Year 11. Candidates are expected to study the relevant subject at A Level. Occasionally exceptions may be made for talented drama students, where it is evident they will play an active role in extracurricular drama. For further information please contact [email protected].
Music
Scholarship auditions typically take place in the Michaelmas term of the Fifth Year (Year 11).
