Sports Scholarships & Trials

Scholarship Overview

All Sports Scholarships are available to girls and boys equally.

Post trials and acceptance, Sports Scholars are enrolled on the Sport ACE Programme, which supports all athletes to become the best they can. Please see the Sport pages for further details of this programme.

Additionally, Judo, Gymnastics, Rugby, Football and Netball Scholars receive discipline-specific support and talent development in their respective Academy programmes.

Students may apply for a General Sports Scholarship. While there will not be a dedicated Academy programme for every sport, students will be enrolled in the ACE programme, and the school will work with external organisations to support their development.

A limited number of 85% scholarships are available for Sixth Form entry for scholars in Netball, Rugby, and Football. See below for further details.

You will have regularly attended training and will have already competed outside of school in local, regional, national or international matches or competitions. As a successful applicant, you will be able to demonstrate progress and aptitude, and will be supported by a reference from your current coach or club.
