Five Awards will be available in September 2012 for 6 to 11 year old boys born between 1st September 2000 and 31st August 2006 These include academic and all rounder awards for those with strong musical, artistic and sporting or other talents.
The value of an award could be worth up to 50% of the full fees throughout the boy's time here, which may be made up of a maximum 15% scholarship award, and up to a 35% means-tested bursary.
The aim is to attract boys who would not otherwise be considering private education. It is expected that candidates will be of a suitable calibre to sit an Academic, Music, Art or All-Rounders' scholarship to a Senior Independent School at 13+.
Award-holders will be expected to join Papplewick as day boys or boarders in September 2012. Please note that present pupils are not eligible for these awards.
The provisional date for testing for 2012 is Wednesday 1st February, 2012. As a principle, we are looking at a candidate's potential rather than the recall of taught knowledge. As a result, we do not encourage boys to carry out any specific preparation for the test, nor do we think it would be helpful.
Application Forms will be available to download, or may be obtained directly from our Registrar, Sarah Tysoe, on 01344-621488 or at registrar@papplewick.org.uk
