Scholarships

Godstowe offers Scholarships and Exhibitions in recognition of current and potential talent. These awards carry considerable prestige within the School and are presented in recognition of excellence, achievement and potential in academia, sport and the arts. Scholars are expected to contribute to and enhance the academic, musical, sporting or artistic life of the school, supporting and encouraging their peers to do the same.

Scholarships are awarded at 11+ for entry at Year 7 for either day or boarding pupils. Applications are welcome from external as well as internal candidates. The value of the Scholarship is up to 10% of the normal school fees. Acceptance of a Scholarship will be taken as confirmation of parents’ intention to educate their daughters at Godstowe through to the completion of Senior School entrance examination, 13+ Common Entrance, or further scholarship to senior school.
