ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT & SCHOLARSHIPS

DOWNSIDE OFFERS CONSIDERABLE OPPORTUNITY FOR PUPILS TO EXTEND AND ENRICH THEIR ACADEMIC STUDIES OVER AND ABOVE THEIR TIMETABLED LESSONS.

As well as the academic clubs and societies on offer, pupils also benefit greatly from extra academic discussions and clinics to prepare them for university and beyond.

The School offers a number of scholarships at 16+. For families who may struggle to meet the full fee payment there is the option to apply for a means-tested bursary and you can apply for this regardless of whether your child is eligible for a scholarship. We believe a scholarship should be a recognition of your child’s achievements to date and potential, and a bursary should be there as financial support. The bestowal of any scholarship award carries with it privilege and responsibility. Every award holder is expected to set an example for other pupils in their approach to academic study and participation in the fuller life of the School. The tenure of any award is intended to be for the duration of a holder’s education at Downside, provided that the holder’s academic progress and general conduct remain satisfactory. Awards are reviewed annually.
