Scholarships
As a school which values pupil progress and application, we are keen to show commitment to pupils who excel and show great progress in the classroom and beyond. It is for this reason that we offer scholarships and awards, which help to celebrate your son or daughter’s success. Scholarships for 2022 entry are now closed.
7+ Scholarships
Academic Scholarships are available at 7+ on successful completion of assessments in Year 2.
If you wish for your child to be considered for the 7+ scholarship, please indicate this at the relevant section of the online application form. Current Year 2 Bishop Challoner parents will receive communication from us in the Autumn Term regarding the 7+ scholarship.
11+ Scholarships
Candidates will be assessed in the early part of the Spring Term; there will be practical assessments in sport, music, art and performing arts. Academic scholarships are automatically offered based on the 11+ entrance results.

Hence, some 13+ scholarships for internal and external applicants are available. These are awarded at the start of Year 9 for the duration of the pupil’s time in school.

The School also offers the 1950 Byrne Scholarship which is awarded on academic merit, commitment and wider contribution to school life at Bishop Challoner. This Scholarship will carry an award of fees to the value of £1,950 per annum for the candidate's two years in the Sixth Form. It carries with it a particular Bishop Challoner honour since it commemorates when the school opened in 1950. You can indicate your wish to be considered for this award on the Sixth Form Academic Scholarship form.
