INTERNAL ACADEMIC AWARDS

Awards may be made following a boy's performance in public examinations on entry into the Sixth Form. These awards are honorary and as such do not carry a financial value although the boys will be identified as Scholars and Exhibitioners as appropriate. However, the granting of honorary awards may entitle the recipient to a bursary award should a family's financial circumstances justify it. Full details of such support are available from the Bursary.Awards may be made following a boy's performance in public examinations on entry into the Sixth Form.
