What is a Sedbergh Scholarship?

Sedbergh School seeks to welcome talented pupils to the school. The scholarship programme is designed to identify and reward excellence and to celebrate exceptional talent:

  • Providing talent-specific tutoring and coaching – in addition to extra-curricular societies where scholars are encouraged to display their knowledge
  • Providing opportunities for the talent to be visible to others – including academic competitions, music and drama events, sporting fixtures and inter-county competition
  • Supporting opportunities for competition at regional or national levels
  • Ensuring parents are kept apprised of progress and development.

Scholarship assessments are held in Academics, Art, Design & Technology, Drama, Music and Sport (main sports assessed are rugby, hockey, cricket, netball, and athletics; other sports assessed are equestrian, target shooting, swimming and Cross Country).

Scholarship Awards are offered for entry to Year 9, Year 10 and to Sixth Form. Scholarships are also available at Year 7 in our Prep School and more information can be found here.

Bursaries

Sedbergh School welcomes bursary applications from families who might, under ordinary circumstances, not consider Sedbergh School for their child for financial reasons.

Having already contacted the Registrar, and Registered your child’s application to Sedbergh, you should contact Tony Roberts, (Compliance and IT) tr@sedberghschool.org for guidance on making an application.

Sedbergh School is 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 circumstances.  However, Bursarial funds are limited and therefore distributed as beneficially as possible based on a wide range of criteria, not just financial.

All applications are treated in the strictest of confidence, means tested, and will be considered against any available concessions, current or pending awards or scholarships which may be combined into one level of support.  A personal or online application interview or home visit may be required.
