What’s on offer?
Prep School academic and music scholarships are available for students moving up to year 5 or year 6, if awarded these are valid until the end of year 8.
Pupils looking for entry into year 7 (11+), year 9 (13+) and year 12 (16+) are able to apply for art, drama, music and sport scholarships. Design technology, and art textiles scholarships are also available for those looking for entry into year 9 and year 12.
Senior School or Sixth Form applicants who take part in the entrance exam assessment day will be automatically considered for an academic scholarship based on the results of their entrance papers.
The entrance exams for Senior School and Sixth Form usually consist of an English paper, maths paper and online cognitive ability test. We aim to make the entrance examination process as relaxed and enjoyable as possible. The main purpose is to establish the standard the students have reached at their current schools so that we can be confident that the education we provide will build on their current strengths and meet their educational needs.
We are no longer able to accept scholarship applications for September 2023 entry, but are still able to arrange entrance testing. To apply for a place please contact our admissions team.
