11+, 13+ and 16+ Co-curricular Scholarships in Sport, Drama, Music and Art
In addition to the academic awards there is also the opportunity at 11+, 13+ and at 16+ for exceptional candidates to be awarded Art, Drama, Music or Sport scholarships. These scholarships are awarded by the Head following an audition and/or recommendation from the Directors of these departments. These are normally confirmed in the February of the year of entry. Art, Drama, Music and Sport Scholarships are typically worth either 3% or 6% of the fees with potentially higher awards available at the discretion of the Head. Where candidates do not meet the standard in any one co-curricular award, and are not quite at the standard for an academic award, the school may offer an ‘All-Rounder Scholarship’. These are not applied for; all award applicants are automatically considered. Existing pupils may also become eligible for recognition in these areas during their time in the school and are welcome to apply to the Head for consideration, using the same application process, by the same deadline. Scholarships must be applied for by 25th November 2022. It is recommended that a maximum of two scholarship categories are applied for. Further details, along with application forms, are given in ‘Further Information about Specific Scholarships and Bursary Awards’ document on the school website: pgs. org.uk/admissions/scholarships-and-bursaries/
