Scholarships

Academic Scholarships will be offered to very able girls in the following age groups: seven, eight, nine and ten for entry into the Junior School, and eleven, twelve and thirteen plus in the Senior School. Candidates take papers in English, Mathematics and Science, and are interviewed by the Principal. An Academic Scholarship can be worth up to 35% of fees.

Music Scholarships will be offered to students on entry to the Senior School.

Exhibitions are awarded for excellence in Drama, Music, Art and Sport to girls of eleven, twelve and thirteen plus who are especially gifted in these disciplines, on the basis of an audition or practical assessment. Where appropriate, these awards may be supplemented with a Bursary. In the Junior School, Exhibitions are awarded for potential in a particular area. Scholarship and Exhibition Awards are entirely at the discretion of the Principal based on an individual's performance in Scholarships and Exhibitions.

Bursaries

Bursaries are offered to parents with a proven financial need.  Eligibility for financial assistance is based on parents' income and assets and they are reviewed annually to take into account any changes in parents' financial circumstances.
Parents will be asked to complete a confidential statement of financial circumstances and will be invited to meet the Principal.
