Scholarships & Awards Policy

Channing School seeks to recognise achievement in many ways.

One way in which this can be achieved is through making financial awards to pupils and parents to ensure that girls of exceptional ability and potential can benefit from a Channing education.

Whilst the school is committed to ensuring that financial awards are increasingly made on the basis of financial circumstances, the Headmistress also has the discretion to make financial awards of up to 10% of tuition fees on entry to the school or at any point during a pupil’s career at Channing should she consider it appropriate.  The Headmistress does have the discretion to make more significant awards but this will only be exercised in exceptional circumstances.

The school offers a number of academic awards on entry to the Sixth Form.  These are awarded at the discretion of the Headmistress and can be up to 50% of tuition fees.  The school also has funds available for Sixth Form Bursaries which are awarded on the basis of both academic achievement and ability to pay.  Please contact the Bursar for further details.

Awards can be made in any area but only academic and Music awards are offered on entry to the School.

The Governors will decide annually on the levels of financial support which the Headmistress may award.

Levels of awards are published for each academic year on the School website, in the prospectus and also in a number of commercial publications.
