Please note that there are separate application forms for bursaries and scholarships which must be completed as well as the main online application for a place.
Bursaries
Sydenham High School offers a number of bursary awards which are designed to enable girls whose parents might not be able to afford the full fees to attend the school. The award of a bursary is based on financial circumstances and the candidate’s performance in the entrance assessments.
If you are interested in being considered for a bursary, please indicate this on your application form and the Admissions team will email you the details for the online application system when they become available from mid-September 2018. For year 7 entry, please apply by 30 November 2018. You will be notified if your bursary application has been successful at the same time places in the school are offered.
Sixth Form candidates (both new and progressing students) are also able to apply for bursaries. In addition, there are awards for direct entry to the Sixth Form, including two full bursaries, kindly sponsored by HSBC, for Sixth Form applicants from state schools. For Sixth Form entry in 2019, please apply by 9 November 2018 if you wish to be considered for a bursary.
