Frequently Asked Questions

A scholarship is the recognition of academic, sporting, or artistic excellence, following assessment by Claremont School. Scholars receive a reduction on school fees, opportunities to develop further in the areas that a scholarship is awarded, and, most importantly, tailored coaching and support in the respective areas of the award offered.

Scholarships tend to be awarded to a maximum of 15% of tuition fees.

Both give financial assistance but are completely separate in their assessment. Scholarship awards are given to pupils who have demonstrated excellence and ability in their chosen scholarship area. A bursary can be given in recognition of financial need and can be applied for on behalf of any pupil who is registered with the School, regardless of ability.

A bursary can also supplement a scholarship award amount. Bursaries are means-tested, so parents are asked to complete a financial circumstances form which is then assessed by the Principal.

The decisions on the distribution of scholarships are made by the Scholarship Committee, made up of the Principal of Claremont, the Deputy Principal, Vice Principal, the Director of Sixth Form and Directors of Studies with advice taken from the leaders of the various areas where scholarships are offered. If there are not suitable candidates the school reserves the right not to award any given scholarship.

Being awarded a scholarship is an honour for a student that will stay with them for life. It also allows them to access special programmes in each discipline with specialist teaching, trips and opportunities available to scholars that are not available to others.
