ART AWARDS

Art awards are available on entry at 11+, 13+ and 16+ to pupils with considerable artistic ability who also have a definite commitment to art at the School. Art award holders must study GCSE or A Levelart as appropriate. They will have also satisfied the general entrance requirements of the School. Internal candidates and current award holders are automatically reassessed at 13+ and 16+ and therefore there is no need for a separate application.

  • Three representational observed works in colour
  • Work done outside of the school curriculum
  • Expressive, imaginative, creative works. Photographs of any 3D work

Above all the portfolio should express the skills of the artist in the broadest manner possible.

Initial candidate selection will be made by looking through the portfolios after which successful candidates will be invited to attend a scholarship interview and to sit a number of tests.

Portfolios for initial candidate selection must be delivered to the Senior School Reception no later than 4pm on Friday12 January 2018. [Please note that candidates do not have to spend lots of money presenting their work. The key focus should be the work and enthusiasm of the applicant]
