Sixth Form Scholarship Awards
There are three routes to Sixth Form Scholarship:
Route 1 - THE CONTINUATION SCHOLARSHIPS
The Continuation Scholarships are available to existing Scholars to make application for the retention of their existing awards whilst studying in Years 12 and 13. Scholars in a specific area will be expected to continue making a significant contribution in that specialism.
Apply here.
Route 2 - THE EXHIBITION SCHOLARSHIPS
The Exhibition Scholarships are offered in specific skills/subject areas where the student has a known specialism.
These areas are Art, Choral, Drama, Music and Sport, and awards are to the value of £1,260 per annum.
Candidates will be called to interview and are expected to speak well in the areas of excellence they have selected and provide a portfolio or supporting letter of recommendation from teachers and/or coaches. Existing scholars at secondary level are able to apply at this stage for an award in a new area.
Apply here.
Route 3 - THE ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS
The Academic Scholarships are offered based on outstanding performance and scholastic record at GCSE level, normally using grade 8 or higher as a benchmark. This major scholarship award is to the value of £3,780 per annum, and applicants are expected to gain at least five GCSEs at Grade 8 or above. Up to six awards in this category may be made.
In addition to the above, Academic Scholarships are awarded on actual academic outcomes where a minimum of five GCSEs at grade 8 has been gained. For each grade 8, £225 per annum is awarded, for each grade 9, £450 per annum is awarded.
The minimum scholarship based on five GCSEs at grade 8 would be £1,125 per annum, with each additional grade 8 adding £225 per annum and each additional grade 9 adding £450 per annum. The maximum award for this scholarship is £4,500.
No application is required.
Please note that any scholarship currently held by an existing Year 11 pupil will cease at the end of Year 11.
