Scholarships

Scholarships  2010/11

Scholarships are awarded in recognition of a particular area of excellence and, in order to protect their currency, they are reserved for only a small number of beneficiaries each year.

Scholarships are conditional upon a pupil continuing their standing within the school and by maintaining high standards of performance. Accordingly Scholarships awarded in recognition of a particular area of strength, be that in the field of academia, music, drama, sport or other extra curricular activity, are conditional upon a pupil continuing to contribute fully to school life. The right is reserved to withdraw a Scholarship during its currency if a pupil fails to maintain the standard of excellence which justified the initial award, or for any other significant reason, such as, for example, a major disciplinary offence being committed by the pupil.

Application process:

Applications and a list of references for Scholarships, whether an initial application or for a renewal, must be submitted on or before the last day of the Autumn term in the academic year before the Scholarship is to take effect (e.g., submissions for September 2010 must be made by the last day of the Autumn Term 2009). The deadline will be strictly observed.

Candidates will be informed of the decisions by the Scholarship Panel at the beginning of the second half of the Spring term. The decisions of the Panel will be final and binding, and the Panel will not give reasons for any decisions made. 

The award of a Scholarship is:

• Non-negotiable
• Valid for acceptance for 30 days, and
• Non-transferable

If in any given year it is deemed that the minimum standard of excellence for awarding a Scholarship has not been attained by any candidate, any or all of the Scholarships available in that year may remain dormant.

Please note that any awards made in the last year of the Junior School are not automatically carried forward into the Senior School.
