In Sport, we recognise that any pupil who is on a pathway to international representation is already motivated, determined and has had to face adversity. We value these character traits highly and would welcome applications for Sixth Form Sports Scholarships from pupils who are already associated with a National Governing Body (NGB) or in the Academy of a professional sporting team. Applicants interested in applying for a Sports Scholarship should write to the Director of Admissions, outlining their sporting achievements and detailing how they balance the demands of their training and competing with their academic studies.
Available to pupils who have surpassed grade 8 and who are showing a significant commitment to furthering their musical education, for example by involvement in the National Youth Orchestra or National Youth Choir. The level of playing should be that which might be considered as gaining a place at a post-18 Music Conservatoire in due course, regardless of whether or not that pathway is intended. Candidates being considered for a Music Scholarship will be invited to an audition.
Please note Sport and Music Scholarship amounts usually represent a fees reduction in the region of 5-10 per cent but are prestigious, particularly in the context of a highly achieving pupil body.
