Academic Scholarships
Students who excel in the initial entry assessment for Long Close School (taken by all candidates) will be invited to sit for either an English, Maths Academic Scholarship, and will have additional assessments in Maths, English, or both, depending on the Scholarship invitation.
Art Scholarships
Students who exhibit a high level of artistic skill and creativity may apply for an Art Scholarship. Individuals wishing to be considered for an Art Scholarship should be able to show not only a good standard of artistic ability but also a genuine interest in the subject which is reflected in their out-of-school activities.
Scholarships will be awarded to pupils with clear ability, enquiring minds, an enthusiasm for the subject and awareness of other artists’ work.
Music Scholarships
Music Scholarships may be awarded to talented and dedicated musicians and performers. Music Scholarships are offered to those pupils who show ability, commitment and potential in their chosen instrument at audition.
In addition to grade achievement, a fundamental passion and musical ambition will be looked for, along with a willingness to participate and contribute to the rich musical life of the School.
Sports Scholarships
Each year we award Sports Scholarships to those individuals who demonstrate aspirations to progress and achieve high levels of success within their chosen sport.
In general, potential to reach or already be playing at club level is expected, and regional representation would be within the capabilities of the successful scholar. Successful applicants will be expected to contribute to our main school sports which are. football, athletics, netball, rounders and cricket. Applicants are expected to show exceptional promise in at least one sport and have an established record of achievement at their current school and at club/regional level.
