Pupils with the strongest performance in our Autumn cycle of entrance assessments are invited to further assessments and interviews for an Academic Scholarship in the February of Year 6.

Auditions for Music Scholarships will also take place in the February of Year 6.

Scholarships do not carry fee remission, but Scholars benefit from our bespoke Scholarship Programme.

Means-tested bursaries, known as Beale Awards, offer fully or partially funded boarding or day places at College - from 1%-100%, depending on circumstances.

Autumn term begins at the start of September. Arrangements vary each year, but new students tend to have an induction a day or two before the term begins, to give them chance to settle in.

Year 7 (LC1) pupils also have the chance to make new friends and put their bravery into practice during the LC1 Adventure Day, where they climb to new heights, zip wire and take part in team bonding exercises.
