scholarships and assisted places
Scholarships
The School offers a substantial number of Scholarships for which all 11+ and 13 + candidates are eligible. The entrance examination, sat by all applicants, provides the first criteria for selection. Potential scholarship winners are then invited for interview, based on their examination performance. From this group scholarship awards may be made.
The number of awards and their value is at the discretion of the Headmaster.
Assisted Places
In addition to Scholarships, the School also has Assisted Places which make provision for pupils with financial needs who have performed well in the examination. These awards are on a sliding scale and can provide full fees. They are awarded on the basis of a means test. To qualify, parents are asked to declare an interest in writing, before the entrance examination. After the examination, if a place is offered, the assessment forms will be sent with the offer of the place and parents are asked to return the forms to the Bursar as quickly as possible.
Music Awards
There are Music Scholarships available for pupils applying to enter the School at 11+, 12+ and 13+. Scholarships are awarded based on performance in separate Music auditions, which take place at the end of January, following the results of the entrance examinations.
The number of awards and their value is at the discretion of the Headmaster.
Application forms and details of the auditions are available from the Admissions Secretary on 0121 705 4273 or at enquiries@solsch.org.uk
