John Wesley Boarding Awards

JOHN WESLEY AWARDS YEARS 7, 9 & 12

(BOARDING PUPILS ONLY)

John Wesley Boarding Awards are in recognition of potential all-round contribution to the life of the School.

Awards to applicants in Year 7, 9 and 12 are assessed by considering the “whole picture” for each individual who applies. Academic ability (not necessarily to the level of academic scholarship) is assessed through the results of entrance assessment papers and school reports. We also consider the pupil’s special talents (reviewing references for Sport, Music, Drama, Art, DT as applicable), and potential contribution to school life, as confirmed by references from their current school. Sixth Form John Wesley awards are made to boarding candidates who show the potential to offer a significant all-round contribution to the life of the school. This is assessed on the “whole picture” of the individual, including: • • academic ability, through review of recent school reports special talent, with references for Sport, Music, Drama, Art, DT as • applicable current contribution to school life

Year 12 John Wesley Scholars will have a progress interview at the start of the summer term of Year 12 with the Deputy Head Co-Curricular.
