"You get the best out of every child, whatever their strengths.”
Year 7 Parent feedback
At Sedbergh, we recognise distinctive potential and abilities through our 11+ Scholarships. They are the highest awards available, granted at the Headmaster’s discretion, to children entering Year 7, and are designed to nurture talent and ability in the fields of academia, art, design, technology and engineering, drama, music and sport.
Scholarship pupils become a member of the School's respected Scholars’ Programme and receive a financial concession towards their tuition fees, which continues throughout their time at Sedbergh Prep and Senior School.
Scholarship assessments, for Year 7 entry in September 2023, will take place in October 2022. For more information and to book a place on the next round of assessments, please complete the form on this page or contact our Admissions Team at admissions@sedberghprep.org or on 015242 79247 or 79200
To make a Scholarship application, both a School Registration and Scholarship Application Form should be completed and returned to the Admissions Team. Both forms can be found by clicking the buttons below.
Our Scholarship assessment days are designed as an information gathering process and, as such, it is hoped that they will create as little anxiety as possible for the children.
Please be aware that we may face last minute changes to any planned Scholarship assessment days, linked to the ever-evolving COVID-19 situation and guidelines. It would be useful to have any supporting evidence, including references from teachers / coaches and videos / online portfolios of work, available to share with the the School, should the need arise.
Scholarships, bursaries and concessions
Sedbergh Prep School welcomes discussions with families who might, under ordinary circumstances, not consider Sedbergh for their child, for financial reasons. We are committed to widening access by enabling children, who would not otherwise be able, to join the School, and to allow children to remain in the event of an unforeseen change in a family’s financial situation.
Having already completed a Scholarship application, you are invited to contact Mr Tony Roberts, Bursar (Compliance), on +44 (0) 7967 326458 or at tr@sedberghschool.org for an initial discussion regarding individual circumstances. Other financial concessions and means-tested bursaries may be available and combined with scholarships into one level of support, depending on each family's circumstances.
