Impact Statement
Our Director of Art has founded SWAT or South West Artist Teachers which welcomes anyone in North Wiltshire or the wider south west area who is passionate about art, craft and design education in both formal and informal settings, involving any age group, sector or level. The aim is to regularly meet on an informal basis to share experiences, ideas and questions as well as skills, knowledge and creativity so that together we can shape the future of art education in our locality. One local primary school and one local secondary school are involved at the moment.We offer Scholarships for pupils entering the school at 11+, 13+ and Sixth Form. Scholarships available:
Academic
All-Rounder (at 11+)
Art
Bodinnar All Rounder (at 13+)
Drama
Music (including Choral)
Sport
FOUNDATION AWARDS
One Foundation Award is available annually at 11+ to gifted and talented pupils from the state education sector who, for reasons of financial restriction, might otherwise be prevented from applying to the school. All Foundation Scholarships are retained to the end of the Sixth Form. The Scholarships are means-tested and could reduce the Day Fees by up to 100%.
At 11+, the Scholarships are granted solely on merit as the result of competitive examination and require the support of a candidate’s Head Teacher. Candidates sit examinations in English and a computerised test to assess their verbal and non-verbal reasoning skills and their numerical ability. In addition, they are interviewed by a member of teaching staff and the Head.
Applicants should register interest in the Scholarships in September of the year preceding entry.
CGA BURSARIES
Bursaries from the Calne Foundation Trust Bursary Fund may be available. This Fund has benefited enormously from the generous gifts from Old Girls of their own charitable fund and the Matthews Bursary Fund. Means-tested bursaries are, therefore, available for the daughters of former pupils wishing to enter the school. Once awarded, bursaries are usually paid termly, and reviewed annually, to confirm that the parents' financial situation is unchanged.
HM FORCES DISCOUNT
For members of the permanent Armed Forces (or reservists on full-time duties, for the duration of those duties) a means-tested discount of up to 20% is offered.
