Scholarships

Wimbledon High School is part of the largest group of independent girls' schools in the UK, the Girls' Day School Trust (GDST).

As a charity, the GDST aims to seek out the brightest, most deserving girls for bursaries and scholarships so that the largest possible number of talented girls can benefit from a GDST education.

Scholarships are awarded on merit, irrespective of financial means. Offers for Year 7 are made based upon performance in the entrance examinations or audition, or in the case of Sixth Form scholarships, for outstanding ability demonstrated in individual subjects and disciplines. A scholarship may be combined with a bursary where there is financial need.


 Year 7 Scholarships

  • We offer a number of Academic Scholarships at 11+. No separate application is necessary - they are awarded based on performance in our 11+ assessments. These can be worth up to 20% of fees but are usually 5 - 10%.
  • For keen and able musicians we offer 11+ Music Scholarships and for candidates with an aptitude for sport, 11+ Sports Scholarships. A separate application must be made for these scholarships by the registration deadline (12.00 noon on 1 November 2023) 

On Tuesday, 10 October from 1.00 pm, we will hold a Music Taster Afternoon for candidates interested in 11+ or 16+ Entry, 2023, and who are interested in finding out more about our Music department and the scholarships we offer.  Click here to book a place (max two tickets please).  

If you are interested in applying for 11+ Music or Sports scholarships we advise submitting your 11+ registration form as early as possible to allow time to complete the separate scholarship applications. The scholarship application forms will be made available to you once your registration is received and must also be completed by our 11+ deadline (12.00 noon 1 November 2023).

Details of the Music and Sports scholarships are in our Senior School Admissions guide.

  • We also have Sixth Form Scholarships available for Art, Drama, Sport and Music. Please see the information below for full details if you are interested in applying for a scholarship.

If you would like to apply for one of our scholarships you will need to register your daughter for the appropriate entry point first and this will require you to set up a login to our Admissions+ platform. Please make sure you make a note of the email address and password for future use. From our Admissions Platform, you will then be to complete the relevant scholarship application form from your daughter's checklist. Once your login is set up follow the link on any of our admissions pages to log back into your account.

Scholarships and bursaries may be withdrawn at the discretion of the Head, in the event of unsatisfactory work or conduct. This action will only occur as the culmination of a process of communication and guidance between the school and home.
