Scholarships at Brentwood

Our Scholarships recognise academic potential as well as specialist talents in the areas of Art, Chess, Dance, Drama, Music and Sport.

Our students have achieved success representing their country in sport, and gaining places in National Youth Orchestras and leading Drama and Art schools.

Students may apply for a maximum of three specialist Scholarships at 11+ and a maximum of two specialist Scholarships at 16+. 11+ candidates must also perform very well in the Entrance Examination.

Something that I particularly appreciate as part of my Scholarship is how fortunate I am to receive the support from the Dance Department at the School. Mrs Carabache has helped me progress immensely from Year 7, not only as a dancer, but also as an individual at the School.

Academic Scholarships

An Academic Scholar at Brentwood School is expected to perform at a high level academically throughout their school career.

They are expected to get involved with a range of academic enrichment activities that encourage further critical thinking, such as the Junior Colloquium debating society, the Headmaster’s Award, and academic subject weeks. These activities are not exclusive to scholars and all students are encouraged to join. Our Heads of Academic Enrichment monitor scholars as they progress through the school.

Empowering Access

Our Scholarship programme rewards students who have a talent and ongoing passion for their subjects.

Understandably, we expect more from our scholars and look for them to act as role models in their subjects throughout their time at the school.

Each scholar will have annual review meetings with the relevant Head of Department to ensure they are progressing proactively and productively. Click below to find out more.
