The school governors offer an annual bursary to cover full fees to one boy or girl in Year 7. The bursary is means tested and is only awarded to families who would be unable to send their child to our school without this assistance. Once agreed, the bursary will cover school fees up to the end of GCSE. The prize is only awarded to a boy or girl with exceptional academic ability, who would be able to make full use of the opportunity give to him / her.
Two members of staff are governors at local primary schools.
Local schools are invited to the matinee/dress rehearsal of stage production put on by the senior school.
Both senior and preparatory schools host sporting events for the local consortium of state schools. In addition to this, many sporting fixtures take place across a range of sports between our school and numerous local state schools.
U3 (Yr 7) Scholarships and Bursaries
Scholarships: Academic scholarships are awarded to pupils who perform particularly well in the U3 (Year 7) entrance assessments and who demonstrate a considerable degree of all-round commitment to the School. The formal assessment is followed by a short interview with the Head of Senior School.
Additional specialist scholarships are also awarded to pupils showing a particular talent in art, music or sport. Pupils must attend an audition/ test in order to be considered.
Highclare School Governors Prize (HSGP): Highclare School Governors Prize is an annually-awarded, means tested bursary (to cover up to 100% of school fees) given to one pupil with outstanding academic potential upon entry to the school at U3 (Year 7). The award is made following a successful entrance assessment and interview and is given at the discretion of the Headmaster.
Bursaries: The School is pleased to be able to offer a number of bursaries to capable students from families on lower incomes who can prove evidence of limited ability to pay full fees. They are allocated on a scale related broadly to household income and are offered, with the exception of Highclare School Governors Prize, to cover up to a maximum of 30% fees. Application forms are available from the Admissions Registrar.
Sixth Form Scholarships and Bursaries
Scholarships: Academic scholarships, attitude to learning scholarships and specialist scholarships in art, music and sport are available for members of the sixth form. Any potential sixth former can earn the right to be called a scholar and academic scholarships are awarded solely on the basis of results achieved at GCSE.
