Scholarships

Scholarships are generally awarded to pupils when they enter the Senior School at U3 (Year 7). There are also opportunities given to pupils entering at 16+ for Sixth Form.

Scholarships will be awarded based on the 11+ Entry Assessment, held in November each year, for all pupils applying for Year 7. Entry is based on three assessments in Non-verbal reasoning, Mathematics and English. Application forms for 11+ Assessment and Scholarships are available by contacting the admissions office at: [email protected] or tel:  0121 386 8218

Academic scholarships are awarded to pupils who perform particularly well in the 11+ Entrance Assessment held in November each year, and who demonstrate a considerable degree of all round commitment to the School. The formal assessment is followed by a short interview with Head of Senior School. Pupils applying for places in Year 7 after the main assessment in November will not be considered for scholarships.

Additional Scholarships will also be awarded to those pupils showing a particular talent in either music, sport or art. Those applying for consideration in one of the specialist areas will also be expected to attend a short audition test.

All Scholarships offered will be part fees and will be awarded at the discretion of the Headmaster. The Scholarship will be awarded for the duration of a pupil’s education up to the end of GCSE and will be reviewed annually. Those awarded a specialist scholarship will be expected to play a full part in the life of that department within the School.
