Celebrating Talent and Achievement
At Oxford High School, we’re proud to recognise and nurture outstanding achievement through our scholarship programme.
Scholarships are awarded for entry to Year 7, Year 9 and Year 12 to students who show exceptional ability, commitment and potential in specific areas and who will actively contribute to the life of the school.
Scholarship Opportunities
The Girls’ Day School Trust offers scholarships to recognise and support students with exceptional potential, enabling them to make the most of the opportunities at Oxford High School.
Scholarships are held for the duration of a student’s time at the school, subject to satisfactory progress and behaviour. Scholars are encouraged to contribute fully to school life, take initiative, and actively engage in their chosen field.
Awards are available in: Art & Design | Textiles | Drama | Music | Sport | Academic.
Our Academic Scholarships are based on entrance assessments or subject-specific applications at Sixth Form.
Year 12 Academic Scholarships
As students begin to specialise at A Level, our Sixth Form Academic Scholarships celebrate excellence in subject areas likely to align with future degree choices. Students may apply to represent one or two areas within a single award:
- STEM (e.g. Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science)
- Languages (e.g. French, German, Spanish, Latin, Mandarin, Italian, Russian and Greek)
- Humanities (e.g. History, Geography, English, RS)
- Social Sciences (e.g. Economics, Politics, Psychology)
Applicants submit a 500-word essay on a specified theme, reflecting their chosen subject area and outlining how they would develop scholarship in that field during Sixth Form. Shortlisted candidates attend an assessment day including interviews and written tasks.
