Foundation awards are made in recognition of an outstanding contribution to school or community. They are available for Sixth Form applicants only.
- For Sixth Form students, the award is worth 5% of fees for the forthcoming year
Application
To apply for a Foundation award, internal applicants should download the application form or contact the admissions office to request the forms. External applicants when registering via our online admissions portal will be given the opportunity to choose to apply for a scholarship - the scholarship form will then be made available in the checklist items. All applicants should submit a letter with their application form outlining what they have been doing and the contribution they have made. Applicants may wish to comment on any leadership roles they have taken and initiatives they have started.
In order to provide as much detail as possible, applicants may also wish to provide a portfolio of evidence to include, for example, a reference from a club leader or teacher. The portfolio of evidence should be uploaded to the admissions portal.
Applicants will be shortlisted for interview.
Interview
During an interview, shortlisted applicants will have the opportunity to discuss their experiences as described in their scholarship application form, letter and (where applicable) portfolio of evidence.
Terms
The Principal’s decision is final. We do not disclose marks, grades or rankings. Successful applicants are required to accept or decline scholarships by the deadline given when the offer is made. Having accepted a scholarship, applicants are required to withdraw from the application/scholarship process of all other schools and colleges. External applicants must meet the academic requirements for entry.
Further information
If you cannot find the information you need on these pages, please do not hesitate to contact our Admissions Registrar.
Please note that auditions and interviews relating to applications for other scholarships and awards may take place on a different day from the academic scholarships and external applicant entrance tests; therefore external applicants must be available for both in order to be considered. External applicants must pass normal entrance assessments to be offered a place at the Sixth Form.
When an external applicant is applying for an occasional vacancy after the formal period for application and testing has elapsed, a scholarship application may only be considered if awards remain outstanding. Academic scholarships and Foundation awards are not available for applicants who do not sit the entrance examinations and attend interviews on the designated day.
Scholarships, which are not means tested, may be held in more than one discipline simultaneously and may be combined with financial assistance (in the form of a bursary).
