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.
