Scholarships

Sports Scholarship

Sports Scholarships are open to girls and boys equally. After trials and acceptance, scholars join the Sport ACE Programme, with further specialist support through our Academy programmes.

Who it’s for

The kind of young person we are looking for

We are looking for young athletes who have attended training regularly and have already competed outside school in local, regional, national or international matches or competitions. You will be able to demonstrate progress and aptitude, supported by a reference from your current coach or club. Scholars also give their time to mentor and coach younger students, and speak up for sport across the school.

What the scholarship offers

What a scholar receives

Automatic enrolment onto the Sport ACE Programme, which supports every athlete to become the best they can be.
Discipline-specific talent development through our Academy programmes in judo, gymnastics, rugby, football and netball, or, for a General Sports Scholarship, support arranged with external organisations.
The chance to compete for the school in local, national and international competitions.
Your name etched onto the Sports Scholarships' Board, and a place at the annual Scholars' Day.
A generous scholarship award against published fees.

How to apply

What to send, and by when

Complete the Scholarship Application Form with a personal statement, a reference from your current coach or club, and any relevant certificates and supporting documents. Places follow trials and acceptance, and applicants for rugby, football and netball scholarships are formally assessed in a real-game situation with their current club or team. To receive an invitation for a scholarship interview, you must complete the application by 31st October 2026.
