Year 7 Scholarships

Five academic Headmaster’s Scholarships are awarded at Dr Hinchliffe’s discretion annually. Four of these are given to the boys and girls who demonstrate academic excellence in the Year 7 entrance exam in January and the remaining scholarship is offered to the boy or girl who excels academically in the Clock House Year 6 January assessment. These prestigious scholarships provide a 20% reduction in fees for the duration of the recipient’s time at BGS subject to his/her grades being maintained.

Additionally, children who score well in the January Year 7 entrance exam may be chosen to be one of our Charter Scholars. This honour is given to those candidates who perform very well in our Year 7 entrance exam and whilst notable, they do not carry a significant financial benefit. A Charter Scholar receives the sum of £100 per annum for the duration of his/her time at BGS.

Year 7 Assisted Places Awards

Please click here for the closing date for 2024/25. Applications received after this date will not be considered.

Our academic Assisted Places Award (bursaries) create opportunities for young people from a wide spectrum of backgrounds across Yorkshire to access an outstanding education but are limited in number.

Assisted Places are offered following the results of the APA assessment and Entrance exam.

If you have an academically gifted child and have a joint income of £75,000 or less we encourage to you consider applying for one of these awards.

Applications for our academic Year 7 Assisted Places Awards (bursaries) open in September.

Year 12 Assisted Places Awards

For 2024/25 applications, an online registration form must be completed by Friday 23 February 2024, following which applicants will be forwarded an application form and further details. Those students wishing to apply for financial assistance will be forwarded an Assisted Places Financial Assessment form in April/May 2024. This form needs to be completed and returned with all supporting documentation by Friday 7 June 2024 at the latest.

The award depends on parental circumstances, demand at the time of entrance and the academic ability of the candidate (candidates looking for an Assisted Places Award will need to gain a minimum of six GCSE passes at grade 8 or 9 to put forward an application to the Assisted Places Awards Panel).

Decisions regarding who will receive an Award will be made following receipt of all applicants’ results. Competition for awards is fierce and the School will inevitably have to disappoint many students. Applications will be considered following publication of GCSE results.
