Academic Scholars demonstrate strong academic attainment or potential, intellectual curiosity and resilience, together with a willingness to respond positively to feedback and explore ideas beyond the classroom.
Our Academic Scholars demonstrate exceptional academic potential, intellectual curiosity and a genuine enthusiasm for learning. They:
- achieve highly across a broad range of subjects
- enjoy asking questions and exploring ideas beyond the curriculum
- are confident tackling unfamiliar problems
- can explain and defend your thinking
- respond positively to challenge and feedback
- show curiosity through reading, projects, competitions, research or independent interests
The Academic Scholarship process is designed to be valuable in its own right, offering every applicant meaningful insight into their academic strengths and potential.
Each applicant will receive:
- A CAT4 parent report to help families understand the pupil’s cognitive profile
- Individual feedback from the Academic Scholarship assessment and interview
- feedback against the key scholarship criteria
- clear recommendations for future development
- greater insight into academic strengths and areas to develop
Every applicant leaves with useful feedback and next steps.
Academic Scholars may have opportunities to:
- take part in Scholar discussions, seminars and academic challenges
- pursue independent research and academic writing
- enter appropriate competitions
- engage with visiting speakers and university opportunities
- present and share ideas
- receive mentoring and guidance to help them develop further
- Being an Academic Scholar does not mean simply doing more schoolwork. It means going beyond the curriculum, not merely further through it.
- Academic record Most recent school reports, including Term 3 from the previous academic year and current-year reporting where available.
- Super-curricular achievements Evidence from the previous 2 to 3 years of academic interests and achievements beyond normal classroom requirements. This might include competitions, Olympiads, essay writing, research, coding, debating, reading, academic projects or other areas of intellectual interest.
- CAT4 assessment Applicants will complete a CAT4 assessment organised by the College. CAT4 will help us understand the pupil’s cognitive profile and academic potential. It will be considered alongside all other evidence rather than used as a single scholarship threshold.
- Academic challenge An unseen written, reasoning or problem-solving task.
- Short video presentation In no more than two minutes, tell us about something you are intellectually curious about, where you would like your academic interests to take you, and how becoming an Academic Scholar could help you develop.
- Academic interview An in-person discussion with members of the scholarship panel exploring the pupil’s interests, thinking, aspirations, response to challenge and readiness to engage with the Scholars’ Programme.
Our assessment looks beyond academic attainment to understand how each pupil thinks, responds to challenge and approaches learning.
| Criterion | What We Look For |
| Academic Excellence | Strong and sustained academic attainment appropriate to the pupil’s age and educational context. |
