Awarded solely based on academic performance in the entrance examinations and any subsequent interviews. 

All pupils registered for Year 7 entry (internal and external candidates) will automatically be considered eligible for an Academic Scholarship. The pupils gaining the top marks, which vary from year to year, will be asked back to attend an additional interview.
