13+ Academic
Year 9 entry
All recipients of the Academic Scholarships are expected to be role models and ambassadors in the academic life of the school.
Scholars will be expected to participate and engage in a variety of settings, including lectures and conferences (such as the Bath Educational Trust Gifted and Talented Conference), group discussions, practical work, project work (such as the Higher Project Qualification), trips (such as to Oxford University and the Houses of Parliament), regular scholars meetings and essay competitions.
The programme will provide scholars with:
- Exposure to a breadth of areas of study that they would not necessarily encounter within the syllabus
- Opportunities to explore subjects at a depth beyond that which is typically learned in the classroom
- Enrichment opportunities to work collaboratively and as role models to their peers and younger students
- Opportunities to be coached and mentored
The application deadline for 2027/2028 will be finalised shortly.
