Scholarships are awarded to recognise talent, potential and character in Years 6, 7 and 8.
We offer Academic scholarships as well as awards for Music, Art, Drama and Sport. All scholars and award holders engage with the new Sherborne Schools Group Scholars’ Programme which includes presentations, collaboration, activities, mentoring and events for pupils from Sherborne Prep, Sherborne School and Sherborne Girls.
The maximum value of any non-means tested scholarship or award, or any combination thereof, is 10% of the full day or boarding fee, and applicants are also welcome to apply for a means tested bursary.
For exceptional candidates a Head's Discretionary Award may be granted.
Scholarship and award applications should be completed by the parents of the candidates and be supported and signed by their current Head Teacher. Applications should also include a one-page reference from their Head Teacher or relevant Head of Department. In addition to the Scholarship Assessment days potential pupils are also invited to attend a Taster day to get a feel for a normal school day.
