Talent should never wait on money
Each year we award scholarships for academic, music and sporting promise, and bursaries for families who need help with fees.
What we offer
Founders' academic scholarship
Up to 50% of tuition for JSS1 or SSS1 entrants who excel in our scholarship papers. Four awards a year.
Music scholarship
Up to 30% of tuition and free instrumental lessons for a gifted young musician. Audition required.
Sports scholarship
Up to 30% of tuition for outstanding athletes, footballers or swimmers, after a trial.
Means-tested bursary
Help of up to 100% of tuition for families whose income would otherwise rule out a place, reviewed each year.
