Scholarships
Our scholarship programme, which dates back to 1934, recognises gifted pupils who show significant talent and would benefit greatly from joining our top-performing pupils at Westbourne School.
As well as the prestige that comes with being a Westbourne Scholar, pupils awarded with scholarship can also expect a reduction in fees.
Children and parents interested in applying for a Westbourne Scholarship are also welcome to visit the school at any time. Entry into Westbourne School is not dependent on the performance of the applicant on assessment day.
Academic, Sport, Music, Drama and Art Scholarships are available for internal and external pupils entering our Senior School in Year 7 and Year 9. However, applications will also be considered from exceptional candidates wishing to join the school outside of these traditional entry points. Candidates are welcome to submit applications for a maximum of 2 Scholarship subjects.
Scholarship Benefits
- An extensive range of enrichment opportunities
- Extra support in their chosen area of talent
- Opportunities to take on extra responsibilities within school and improve their leadership skills
- Review meetings and monitoring of their progress
- Support from our current cohort of scholars.
Full participation in the Scholarship Programme
- The highest levels of focus and engagement across all subjects
- Participation in extracurricular activities
- To show initiative and enthusiasm as a Westbourne School ambassador
- To set an excellent example to their peers
Awards are reviewed periodically and the school reserves the right to withdraw an award if the holder does not consistently meet these expectations.
During the assessment day, parents and carers will have the opportunity to meet staff and current scholars, and to find out more about the school and what it’s like to be a scholar at Westbourne. Our current scholars will also be available to take applicants for a tour of the school and answer any questions they might have.
Applicants will also be invited to meet the scholarship subject heads and have a short interview with a senior member of staff, who will be keen to find out more about them. There will also be a variety of activities for applicants to take part in, which are designed to showcase their talents and help us to find out more about their achievements and progression to date.
At the end of assessment day, parents and carers will once again be able to join their children on site to discuss the day and ask any final questions.
