13+ Awards

Academic Scholarships for those educated at Prep Schools are by competitive examination, taking place in March each year. Application forms are available from the Registrar and must be returned by January (see dates below). Academic Scholarships for applicants from schools in the maintained sector are awarded on the basis of the school's own 13+ entrance examination which takes place in March each year. No application form is required. Internal candidates do not need to submit an application form for Academic Awards; all existing pupils are automatically assessed for Academic awards in the Master's Awards meeting in the Trinity term.

All-Rounder Awards and Governors' Presentation Awards are also made each year, on the basis of performance in entrance examinations.

Scholarships in Art, Music and Sport become available at 13+.  All internal and external candidates must return the application form to the Registrar by  January.  In Art, all candidates submit a portfolio, and shortlisted pupils attend a morning in the department for skills assessment.  In Music, all candidates are auditioned and should currently not be of less than Grade VI standard in at least one instrument.  In Sport, applicants should be of County standard in at least one sport, and are invited to the school for an assessment day.  It is expected that some of those internally elected to Scholarships at this stage may previously have held All-Rounder or Governors' Presentation Awards.
