At Rydal Penrhos School
Scholarship Premium
These are awards that do NOT need to be applied for. At Rydal Penrhos senior school each academic year we offer scholarship premiums to young people with “exceptional talent”.
Academic scholarship premiums may be awarded to young people on entry to Year 7 as a result of their CAT test results and an interview with a senior staff member.
These scholarship premiums are open to pupils already within the school and those joining the school and are based on clear testing/results and interviews. There is no limit to the number of these awards.
These awards are NOT means-tested and the reward is the title of scholar and also a scholarship premium of £500 each year for the pupil from the school to further their academic studies through the purchase of books etc.
A mentor will be attached to the pupil for this purpose and would meet half termly to discuss progress in that area and help the money be spent wisely and appropriately.
Art, Drama, Sport and Music may also be awarded to pupils with “exceptional talent” at any point during their senior school years. They do not require an application.
These awards are NOT means-tested and the reward is the title of scholar and also a £500 contribution each year for the pupil from the school to further their talent through the purchase of art materials, golf clubs etc.
Applications for bursaries are only available to candidates awarded a scholarship premium. For more details please refer to our website.
