What Scholarships are available at Oundle?

Oundle offers a range of scholarships at 13+ and 16+ entry points, along with Academic Entrance Exhibitions at 11+, to recognise pupils with outstanding potential, ability and enthusiasm across a range of disciplines.

11+ Entrance Exhibitions

At 11+, we offer Entrance Exhibitions in recognition of exceptional academic achievement and effort in the entrance assessments. These honorary awards are designed to celebrate potential and commitment, rather than place early pressure on pupils to specialise or perform.

We understand that children develop at different rates and that the early years of senior school are often when confidence grows and abilities begin to deepen. Our focus at this stage is on giving pupils the space and support to flourish — and to discover where their passions and strengths truly lie. They can then consider Scholarship options at 13+, when their interests and abilities are more fully formed.

13+ and 16+ Scholarships

From 13+ onwards, we offer Scholarships in the following areas:

  • Academic

  • Art

  • Design, Engineering & Technology

  • Drama

  • Music

  • Sport

  • The Oundle Scholarship (recognising all-round contribution and enthusiasm)

Scholars benefit from a personalised programme of support and development opportunities, helping them to build on their strengths and pursue their interests as they mature.

Fee Remission and Bursaries

Scholarships are honorary and do not carry fee remission. However, financial support can be provided through our means-tested bursary programme. Families are welcome to apply for both.

Next Steps

All scholarships are awarded through open competition and are dependent on success in entrance assessments. To find out more please visit our Scholarships page here
