Scholarships and bursaries
A number of scholarships are available to girls applying to Headington School at 11+, 13+ and sixth form level. Scholarships may be academic or subject-based (art, drama, music and sport). All scholarships are based on merit and carry a fixed monetary value of £300 p.a.
Parents of girls awarded a scholarship, who feel their financial circumstances warrant additional support, may elect to be means-tested by the school which may result in a higher financial award of up to 100% of fees in certain cases. Levels of financial support will be reviewed annually.
If you wish your daughter to be considered for a scholarship, you will be given the opportunity to register your interest in the course of the admissions process. Details of scholarship assessment dates are provided in full in the school Handbook.
In all cases candidates will be expected to pass the appropriate Common Entrance or Sixth Form Entrance Examinations in addition to the scholarship assessments. All scholarships are awarded and maintained on the understanding that the recipient will remain enthusiastic and committed to the field in which they have been recognised, either by making significant academic progress or by contributing to school teams, productions or orchestras as appropriate.
