Sancton_Wood_Scholarship_Policy_2026.pdfOur 11+ Scholarships are awarded at a fee reduction of between 5-50%. Other scholarships are awarded at a fee reduction of 5-10%. In the interests of inclusivity, no student will be awarded more than two scholarships although applicants may apply for more than two.
In addition to a fee reduction, scholars receive support in their scholarship area from an assigned academic mentor. Scholars also act as role models to their peers and contribute to wider school life, and in doing so will benefit from additional enrichment opportunities in their chosen area. Pupils with scholarship awards meet regularly with their scholarship mentor, and all those on the More Able Register, to offer support with time-management, study-skills and other pressures and challenges beyond the academic sphere.
With their mentor, pupils explore and identify their academic and vocational aspirations. Mentors will then alert them to the opportunities available to them, helping them to expand their horizons and fulfil their potential, ensuring that their CVs are strong for their chosen sixth form, and exposing them to their academic competition.
When to apply
Applications are open from 11th September and close on 16th January. Interview day is on 20st March and offers are made on 27th March.
