Exeter School offers a range of scholarship opportunities to pupils who are talented in their chosen discipline.
Scholarships are available at Year 7 (11+, the excellence pathway), Year 9 (13+) and Year 12 (16+) for pupils who show excellence in art, drama, music, and sport.
Being a scholar at Exeter School will give you:
• An elite programme that will further develop your talents and skills.
• Recognition of your achievements.
• Appreciation of your exceptional potential.
• The status of being a scholar within the school.
• Enhancement of your UCAS application and curriculum vitae.
• Opportunities to influence school life.
• Prospect of being a leader of the school and a great role model.
Scholarships do not have an accompanying fee concession but are an honorary award and the scholar is recognised for their achievements.
Parents can apply to have a scholarship supported by a bursary, subject to a means test. Bursaries take the form of a fee reduction (up to 100% in exceptional circumstances) to a level dependent on the parents’ financial situation.
