We offer a range of Scholarships and Exhibition Awards for external pupils entering in Year 3 to Year 7 and for internal pupils moving to Year 7.
We aim to recognise those children who show talent and potential, as well as high levels of interest in the areas of Academics, Sport, Drama, Music and Art.
Scholarships are worth up to 15% and Exhibition Awards are worth 5% remission of the tuition fee.
Children receiving an award will be mentored, challenged and extended in their areas of strength throughout their time with us. They will be expected to make a positive contribution to all events associated with their award subject, always give their best and be strong ambassadors for the school.
Scholarships for moving to Year 7
We offer a number of 11+ scholarships to pupils who are currently in Year 6.
Children applying for these scholarships are expected to be working at a high level in their field. The benchmark for awarding scholarships will be senior schools’ expectations of potential scholars at 13+. Pupils’ general conduct and approach to school life will also be an important factor in the decision-making process.
SCHOLARSHIPS FOR INTERNATIONAL PUPILS
Our Scholarships are also open to international pupils. Whilst it would be wonderful to welcome them in person for any assessment days, we understand that travel may not always be possible. In such cases, we will make alternative arrangements to ensure they have the opportunity to apply for a scholarship and be fully considered in their chosen subject.

The deadline for external and internal scholarships for entry in Year 3 to Year 7 in September 2026 is Friday 9th January 2026.
