Scholarships & Awards

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.
