Sixth Form Scholarship Exams - Wed 21 Jan 2009

Sheffield High School offers a number of scholarships and exhibitions to current pupils and to girls wishing to join the Sixth Form from other schools. These awards are based on excellent performance in the annual Scholarship Examinations which this year will take place on Wednesday 21 January.

All candidates sit a core multiple-choice paper and their second paper is in a subject of their own choice. The subject chosen should be one of the subjects the candidate intends to study for A-level. The scholarship examinations are based on the work the students have been studying at GCSE and no additional preparation is required. Candidates choosing Drama, Art or Sport are assessed by interview, in addition to taking the core paper.

Approximately six Sixth Form scholarships, worth between 5% and 20% of the school fees, are awarded each year, depending on the ability of the candidates. A small number of exhibitions (worth £100 each) may be awarded for candidates who perform exceptionally well in their chosen subject but less well on the core paper.

For students not currently at Sheffield High School who are applying to study Maths and Physics at A-level, there is also the possibility of applying for an Ogden Scholarship – see The Ogden Trust.

If you are interested in taking our Scholarship Examination, please contact the School as soon as possible on (0114) 266 0324 or via enquiries@she.gdst.net
