Sidcot Scholarships are not just about celebrating and nurturing excellence - they’re about sharing it too. Our Scholarship students are given the opportunity to engage in tailored enrichment activities and extra support in their awarded subject. With the support of staff who are experts in their field, students are encouraged to challenge themselves and to achieve their very best.
Scholarship students are ambassadors of Sidcot who share their enthusiasm and encourage fellow students to take an active interest in their subject area.

Scholarships For Current Students
Current Sidcot students in Year 6 and Year 11 who do not already hold a Scholarship may also apply as they are in transition to Senior School and Sixth Form respectively. Please refer to the deadlines above.
Students at Sidcot who have already gained a Scholarship will retain their award and title throughout their time at the School, subject to an annual review of their performance and providing they continue to show the attributes of a Scholar.
Those moving from Year 11 to Sixth Form may have an interview to ensure their continued commitment and suitability as a Scholar, but will not need to take any formal assessment papers.
Gifted & Talented Programme
Students who have received a Sidcot Scholarship and are in Years 7-11 will be invited to join our Lead Learner Programme alongside students who have been identified as extremely competent in their chosen subject areas. Academic Scholars will be encouraged to stretch and challenge themselves in all subject areas and will be invited to get involved with enrichment activities, both inside and outside of the classroom in their preferred subjects.
Scholars in the Sixth Form will be invited onto our Aspire Programme and will become Ambassadors of the School. They will be invited to take part in an exciting programme of events and activities related to Oxbridge and top Russell Group Universities and Careers.
