Scholarships

Academic Scholarships: An academic scholar at Brentwood School is expected to perform at a high level academically throughout their school career. In addition, they are expected to get involved with a range of academic enrichment activities which encourage further critical thinking, such as the Junior Colloquium debating society, the Headmaster's Award, and academic subject weeks. These activities are not exclusive to scholars and all pupils are encouraged to join. 

For entry at 11+ (Year 7): The top-performing pupils in the Entrance Examination will be assessed for an academic scholarship. Parents do not need to apply for this separately. 

For entry at 16+ (Year 12): Candidates wishing to apply for an Academic Scholarship or mean-tested Bursary at Sixth Form can indicate this on their application and will be invited to submit a 1000 word essay from a choice of subjects. The essay titles will be sent in December and must be submitted in mid-January. Interviews will be held in the weeks that follow. They will also request results from GCSE predicted grades to inform our decision. An Academic Scholarship at Sixth Form will then be conditional on candidates receiving 64 points from their 8 best GCSEs.
