ABOUT OUR SCHOLARSHIPS

Exeter School offers a range of scholarship opportunities to pupils who are talented in their chosen discipline. Scholarships are available at 11+, 13+ and 16+ for pupils who show excellence in art, drama, music, and sport. Academic scholarships for pupils new to Exeter School are awarded based on the results of the entrance assessments sat during the main assessment day in January of the year of entry. For 16+ entry, GCSE results will be used when awarding academic scholarships.

Being a scholar at Exeter School will give you:

• An elite programme that will further develop your talents and skills.

• Recognition of your achievements.

• Appreciation of your exceptional potential.

• The status of being a scholar within the school.

• Enhancement of your UCAS application and curriculum vitae.

• Opportunities to influence school life.

• Prospect of being a leader of the school and a great role model.

Scholarships do not have an accompanying fee concession but are an honorary award and the scholar is recognised for their achievements. Scholarships are awarded for the duration of the child’s time at Exeter School in the senior school or sixth form, subject to annual monitoring.

Parents can apply to have a scholarship supported by a bursary, subject to a means test. Bursaries take the form of a fee reduction (up to 100% in exceptional circumstances) to a level dependent on the parents’ financial situation.
