Academic

Candidates interested in applying for an academic scholarship should be predicted attainment grades of 9s and 8s at GCSE. 

The assessment requires candidates to sit two scholarship papers (out of a choice of four), depending on their A Level interests.  They will also have an interview. 

Scholarship papers in English, Maths and Science are designed to test subject knowledge as well as aptitude in these disciplines.

The Humanities paper is not specific to any one discipline and neither is particular subject knowledge required. This paper tests critical thinking; students are asked a series of short-answer questions on a stimulus material (an image or passage, for example), plus a follow-up question that invites an extended piece of evaluative writing. Valuable preparation would include scrutinising academic articles, books, news stories, and formulating arguments.  

Please select the two papers the candidate wishes to sit from the four listed.Please select up to 2 choices
