Our SCHOLARSHIP Programme

We have high expectations and are determined to achieve our goals. We achieve the highest standards in our endeavours.

We are willing to be bold, to experiment and to be resourceful.

We are tenacious and have the capacity to embrace adversity, recover quickly, and learn from the experience.

We have a strong moral code and pride in the charitable history of our School’s founder.

We are compassionate and respectful, looking after each other and our wider community. We have curious minds and a love of learning.

We will explore, use our imagination and be inventive.

John Lyon’s Scholars are seen as leaders within the School. These pupils - from Year 7 to Upper Sixth - strive to set new goals not just for themselves, but for all other pupils around them.

Our Scholarship Programme covers all areas of School life, from the classroom to the sports fields to the stage.

It sets ambitious goals through personalised target setting and monitors each pupil’s achievements and successes over the course of each term and School year.

In my time at John Lyon I have seen how a Scholarship can help an able young pupil with potential hone their talents and grow in confidence, thanks to the structure put around them and the support of their teacher mentors.

The gold and blue Scholarship tie - given to all award holders - is worn with great pride.

This booklet sets out the Scholarships on offer at John Lyon and what each department looks for in awarding Scholarships, how it will support each pupil, and how it wishes to see each Scholar strive to meet the expectations placed on them.

We encourage all future Lyonians to consider applying for one or more Scholarship awards. Application forms can be found on the School website at www.johnlyon.org/scholarships
