Summary of Academic Subjects on Offer

Scholarships and Bursaries Information 2023-2025

We very much encourage students to apply for scholarships in the Sixth Form. Not only does it bring financial support, but it also gives students access to our Scholars’ Programme which helps to nurture and showcase their talent as well as encouraging and developing their passion. For those students already in receipt of a scholarship at RMS, this continues through the Sixth Form and you do not need to re-apply. Scholarships are offered to encourage and reward excellence; they are awarded in recognition of outstanding achievement or promise in a particular sphere and normally involve financial support up to a maximum of 25% of the annual fee. Scholars will be given regular opportunities for prominence and leadership within their given specialism. Academic scholars will be expected to maintain high standards of work across the curriculum and take part in the weekly scholars’ class.

Scholarships on offer

Awards are given for academic excellence, music, art/textiles, sport and drama. The deadline for applications isFriday 4th November 2022. The scholarship assessments will take place during the week 28th November – 2nd December 2022.

Languages, Mathematics, Science). You should specify this on your application form ▶ Complete a 45-minute critical thinking paper ▶ Attend an interview with a member(s) of Senior Leadership team. We expect all scholars to play a full and active part in the area for

which they have been awarded a scholarship, which may involve

inspiring others, supporting younger students as well as

demonstrating an ongoing passion and commitment to that area of

Scholars’ Class

This class runs bi-weekly and is delivered by a variety of staff from

around the school to encourage our scholars to think beyond the

obvious and take on challenging problems. In recent years our DFO

has run a session asking the students to work out the costings for

RMS and therefore to work out the fee structure (they vastly

underestimated insurance costs!), they have had a session based on

the popular quiz show ‘Only Connect’ and have been asked to work

out how many people you can fit in a mini. Staff thoroughly enjoy

running these sessions and just watching a set of excited brains

get to work on thinking how to solve whatever challenge they

have been given.
