Scholarships

Scholarships may be awarded to a student in recognition of exceptional ability, potential and commitment.

Students joining Cobham Hall in Years 7 to 10 can apply for a scholarship in Sport, Art, Music, or Drama. Students should apply in writing to the Headmistress.

Academic Scholarships are by invitation only. Students joining Years 7 to 10 with the potential for obtaining an Academic Scholarship are identified through Entrance Assessments and will be invited to apply for an Academic Scholarship.

Students entering Year 12 and applying for Sixth Form Scholarships must apply to the Headmistress in writing and will be required to sit a scholarship paper in a subject they intend to study. Candidates will also be interviewed by the Headmistress or another senior member of staff.

All applications made by new students will be facilitated by our Head of Admissions.

Bursaries

The School may consider applications for a Bursary from parents of students who have passed our Entrance Assessments and been offered a full fee paying place. Bursaries are highly competitive, and the School has a limited amount of funds available each year to support these. When considering applications, results from our Entrance Assessments and scholarship applications, along with interviews and references from your child’s current school are all reviewed. A financial appraisal is also undertaken.
