Academic Scholarship Awards


Academic Scholarships

We offer Academic scholarships for new students at our S1 (12+), S2 (13+), and S5 (16+) entry points and for existing students from S1 for the academic year 2025 - 2026.

See our Academic scholarship videos and leaflet below for full details on the application criteria, process and student case studies.

In addition to the benefits package detailed in the supporting materials, the annual discount on tuition fees is 5%. Sixth Form scholars will receive a financial award for future educational expenses when they leave school at the end of S6.

Entrance assessment dates vary depending on the year group of entry. Our admissions team will contact you with an assessment date on receipt of an application.
