Applying for a scholarship
External candidates
Before applying for a scholarship, you must have formally registered for a place at the School by completing the Registration form.
You are asked to indicate on the Registration form whether you wish to apply for a scholarship. A scholarship application form will be sent to all who express an interest. We encourage parents of Scholars who anticipate that they will experience difficulty in meeting the balance of the tuition fees, to apply at the same time for one of the School’s means-tested bursaries when they register their child.
Year 6 Woodbridge School Prep
Information is sent to all current Year 6 parents when the process initially opens. Interested parents should contact the Admissions Team to request a Scholarship application form.
Internal candidates currently at the Senior School
Recommendations for internal scholarship candidates will be made by Heads of Departments. If you would like to discuss your child’s suitability for a scholarship please contact their tutor.
