At St Edward’s, there are a range of scholarships available for pupils entering the School in Year 7 and Lower Sixth.
Pupils who gain scholarships have access to our Scholarship Programme designed to develop them further. We have the highest expectations of them; they will have opportunities to be challenged and inspire others through their contribution to the life of the School.
A limited number of means-tested bursaries are offered each year to pupils who would benefit from an education at St Edward’s. Bursary holders are expected to make a significant contribution to the life of the School. Awards are strictly confidential and are subject to an annual review. The level of support given will reflect the individual circumstances of the family.
For pupils entering Year 7, Scholarships are available in the following areas:
- Academic
- Art
- Drama
- Music
- Sport
These are awarded purely on merit and have no financial assessment.
For students entering Lower Sixth, Scholarships are available in the following areas:

These are awarded purely on merit and have no financial assessment.
Applicants for Sixth Form Academic Scholarships sit two papers in GCSE subjects of their choice, normally subjects they will take for A Level and they will sit a combined English and Mathematics paper. Candidates will also be interviewed by the Headteacher.
Applicants for Music, Sports, Art and Drama Scholarships will have an assessment followed by an interview with the Headteacher.
