Creative Arts Scholarships
We offer generous scholarships for Art, Drama and Music as well as academia, Computer Science, Sport (cricket, hockey, rowing, rugby and golf). The scholarships are awarded based on merit and are open to all, regardless of financial background.
Our scholars play an important role in school life. They are proud of their strengths, lead by example and use their talents to contribute to the community around them.
In return, they benefit from a tailored programme of enrichment, with opportunities and support designed to help them grow, stretch their skills and fulfil their potential.
