Art and Academic Scholarships at St Chris

Accessing a St Chris `Scholarship`

At St Chris, we offer a number scholarships to support applications to the school from students who excel academically or in the visual arts.

A St Christopher School Scholarship enables students access to new opportunities such as materials for art, or to give back to the community. Scholarship students are expected to act as role models for other students and are proud to hold a St Chris Scholarship.

What is a Scholarship?
Each year, St Chris offers scholarships in the Senior School for entry into Year 7, Year 9 and Sixth Form to students who excel academically in the entrance assessment or show outstanding talent in art. There is one Academic Scholarship and one Art Scholarship awarded per year for each of these year groups. Scholarships represent a value of a 10% remission on day fees. On the occasion where more Scholarships are allocated, we may offer a lower fee remission to more applicants.
Who are Scholarships for?
Scholarships are for our most gifted and talented students in these areas, who are keen to contribute to the wider school community.

`Academic` Scholarships

All candidates applying to enter Year 7 and Year 9 are automatically considered for an Academic Scholarship based on the outcome of their entrance assessment, including the interview.

Scholarships for entry into Year 12 are awarded following consideration of an applicant’s performance in their GCSE examinations, and their interview with the Head.

Candidates are then invited to a 30-minute interview with the Head of Art, to which we ask them to bring samples of their work.
