Scholarships and bursaries – further details

At St Edward’s there is a range of scholarships available for Students entering the School in Year 7 and Lower Sixth. Students who gain scholarships have access to our Scholarship Programme designed to develop them further. We have the highest expectations of them; they will have opportunities to be challenged and inspire others through their contribution to the life of the School.

Scholarships are available in the following areas: Academic, Art, Drama, Music, Sport.

The Governors are also committed to broadening access to the School and a limited number of bursaries are offered each year to pupils who would benefit from an education at St Edward’s. Bursary holders are expected to make a significant contribution to the life of the School. Bursaries are all means tested. Applicants are subject to an assessment of income and outgoings, assets and liabilities. The level of support given will reflect the individual circumstances of the family.

Year 7 entry scholarships are retained for the duration of Years 7–11 and are worth remission in fees of £2,500 per annum. Students in receipt of a scholarship will usually be expected to take the subject at GCSE Level in order to retain the Award for Years 10 & 11.

Sixth Form scholarships are retained for the duration of Lower and Upper Sixth and are worth remission in fees of £3,500 per annum. Candidates awarded a Sixth Form Scholarship in Art, Drama, Music and Sport will be expected to take the subject at A Level.

Proudly co-educational and non-selective, we are a small school with big ideas and big dreams. We believe that every one of our students is capable of extraordinary things, and our dedicated staff take pride in creating a warm and supportive environment in which every child can explore, discover and refine their gifts and talents, while at the same time providing the structure for them to exceed their potential in the classroom.

Located in the heart of Cheltenham, with a range of creative and sporting facilities to enrich our academic provision, the School offers a strong and vibrant school community, in which all children can thrive.

Excellent teaching and pastoral care in our nurturing and encouraging environment allow our pupils to flourish. Our small class sizes mean that our teachers really know pupils as individuals and can provide tailored support to maximise achievement. A broad range of subjects is offered at GCSE, together with 24 subjects at A Level. Our School motto means to strive for the best and that is exactly what we want for all our students.

Most importantly, our aim is to provide an education that will last a lifetime and enable our pupils to develop into happy, confident, resilient, compassionate and aspirational individuals who are ready to become positive and lifelong contributors to society.
