At St Edward’s there are a range of scholarships available for pupils entering the School in Year 7 and Year 12.
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.
Please click here to download our Scholarship information for entry to Year 7 and Year 12 in September 2020.
The Trustees are also committed to broadening access to the School and a limited number of 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. Bursaries are available up to a maximum of 100% and are all means tested. Applicants are subject to an assessment of income and outgoings, assets and liabilities. The level of support given will reflect the individual circumstances of the family.
