Scholarships

Pocklington School offers a number of scholarships for excellence in academic, music and sporting ability. Scholarships are designed to reward excellence and to celebrate exceptional talent.

Academic scholarships and exhibitions are available for pupils entering into Pocklington School at Year 7, Year 9 and for entry into the Sixth Form. At Year 7, they are awarded to the best performing candidates in the Entrance Assessment. At Year 9, there is a Scholarship Examination which is also open, by invitation or request, to internal candidates. Sixth Form academic scholarships are awarded to the highest performing students at GCSE (internal and external). Academic scholars are offered a reduction in fees throughout their time at School (10% for scholarship, 5% for exhibition).

Music scholarships are available for candidates entering into Pocklington School at Year 7, Year 9, Year 10 and Sixth Form. They are awarded to outstanding musicians with exceptional ability. They will be assessed by performance and interview. Music scholars are offered a 5% reduction in fees throughout their time at School and are expected to make a significant contribution to the musical life of the School.

A Sports Scholars Programme is available for candidates entering into Pocklington School at Year 9 and Lower Sixth. Sport scholars have access to the Sports Scholar Programme throughout their time at School and are expected to make a significant contribution to the sporting life of the School.
