Bursaries & Scholarships

The School Governors are committed to ensuring that children who meet the academic criteria for entry can access the exceptional education offered at Edgbaston High School. Through the School’s Bursary Fund, eligible families are given the opportunity to apply for financial support, helping to remove financial barriers and widen access to an Edgbaston High School education.

Bursaries are available at key entry points - Year 3, Year 7 and Year 12 - and applications are open to both current pupils and external candidates at the relevant stage prior to entry into the bursary year. To find out more about eligibility, assessment criteria and the application process, please download our Fee Remission Guide.

We offer a number of Academic Scholarships on entry to Year 7 (11+). No separate application is necessary - they are awarded based on performance in our entrance examinations. 

For keen and able musicians we offer 11+ Music Scholarships. A separate application must be made for these scholarships by the registration deadline.

If you are interested in applying for the Year 7 Music scholarship we advise submitting your registration form as early as possible to allow time to complete the separate scholarship application. The scholarship application forms will be made available to you once your registration is received and must also be completed by our Year 7 (11+) deadline.

Choosing a Sixth Form is an important decision, as you begin the last stage of your school career. We offer a number of academic and creative scholarships at Sixth Form. External candidates applying to the school for a scholarship are required to attend an interview with our Headmistress and Head of Sixth Form, and we’ll ask their current school for a confidential report on their achievement and progress.
