Academic Scholarships
For those educated at Preparatory Schools, these are awarded by competitive examination, taking place in the Hilary term preceding entry. For more information, see our Entry at Pre-test page.
For applicants from schools in the maintained sector, these are awarded on the basis of our own 13+ entrance examination which takes place in February each year. No application is necessary.
For current pupils, these are sometimes awarded internally on the basis of performance. No application is necessary.
All-Rounder Awards and Governors’ Presentations AwardsÂ
These are also made each year, on the basis of performance in the Common Entrance Pre-test or 13+ entrance examinations.
Art, Music and Sport Scholarships
These become available at 13+ to both external and internal applicants. Candidates for September 2024 can apply online with a deadline of Friday 12th January 2024 for Art and Music Scholarships.
The deadline for applying for 13+ Sports Scholarships has now passed.
Please note that we will only accept Scholarship applications from current MCS pupils (in Year 8 or Year 11), or those who are applying to join the school in September 2024.
It is expected that some of those internally elected to Scholarships at this stage may previously
have held All-Rounder or Governors’ Presentation Awards.
