All Rounder Scholarships
Available for entry into Years 9, 10 and 12
Life in a full boarding community provides opportunities for a multitude of talents to flourish besides the traditional attributes of academic excellence, musical, artistic and sporting skills. For this reason Sedbergh offers All-Rounder Scholarships to those who show potential as leaders and whose all-round attributes will ensure that they make a major contribution to the life of the School.
The Wavell-Wakefield Scholarship may be awarded on occasions when a candidate demonstrates exceptional leadership potential.
The Examination
Each candidate will be required to undertake:
- an Academic paper and a Verbal Reasoning paper
- a series of interviews
- assessment in two or more skills from Art, Design & Technology, Drama, Music or Sport
Scholarships are available to those candidates combining academic strength with potential in two of: Art, Design & Technology, Drama, Music or Sport and Leadership potential.
Those opting for Drama as part of the All-Rounder Award will need to prepare
a short piece of their choice of 2-3 minutes duration.
Parents are advised that candidates would be expected to be close to individual Scholarship potential in all of the disciplines offered; it is strongly recommended, therefore, that parents read the sections pertinent to individual disciplines.
