Bickley Park School offers a small number of scholarships a year for excellence in Academic Subjects, Performing or Visual Arts and Sports.

A scholarship may be withdrawn in accordance with the terms upon which such award is made or in accordance with the School's Terms and Conditions.

Purpose of Scholarships

Scholarships are designed to reward excellence and to celebrate exceptional talent. In recognition of this achievement, the scholar is offered a reduction in the fees throughout their time at Bickley Park School. Parents are asked to indicate on the Registration Form whether they wish to apply for a scholarship. Details of the arrangements 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 as registration of their child) for one of the School’s means-tested bursaries.

Academic Scholarships

Candidates who apply for academic scholarships are selected from the most outstanding performers in the entrance examinations.

Scholarships are held for the duration of a pupil’s time at the School, provided their conduct is satisfactory.

All candidates will be interviewed in addition to sitting the usual entry papers.

Drama/Music Scholarships
