The scholarships offered at Bloxham School are Academic, Art, Design and Technology (DT), Drama, Music and Sport, and are available at 11+, 13+ and 16+ entry levels.
Bloxham School awards scholarships on the basis of a student’s potential to achieve, rather than relying solely on what they have been taught previously.
Successful applicants can benefit from a fee remission of up to 10% of the day or boarding fee. Parents whose children have successfully gained a scholarship in any discipline are still able to apply for bursarial support if they are eligible.
Internal scholarship applicants for 13+ and 16+ (those in Second Form and Fifth Form) should contact Director of Teaching and Learning, Azita Kazem.
