How 7+ scholarships work

Fewer schools offer awards at 7+ than at later entry points. Where they do, schools usually decide from the entrance assessment, often with a report from the current school and an informal meeting.

Assessment usually falls while your child is in Year 2, for entry the following September.

How to prepare

  • Ask whether the school makes awards at 7+ at all, or only from 11+.
  • Ask how the assessment works at this age, and whether it is the same one every applicant takes.
  • Ask whether the award carries on through the senior school, or has to be won again later.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a 7+ scholarship worth?

Of the 24 7+ awards that publish a percentage, the typical one is worth about 20% of fees, and the highest up to 100%. Many others state no figure, and some are mostly honorary.

How are 7+ scholarships assessed?

Fewer schools offer awards at 7+ than at later entry points. Where they do, schools usually decide from the entrance assessment, often with a report from the current school and an informal meeting.

When do 7+ scholarship applications close?

Assessment usually falls while your child is in Year 2, for entry the following September. Each school sets its own date.

Can a child win a scholarship at 7+?

Yes, at some schools, though most awards start at 11+ or later. Ask how long a 7+ award lasts, because some schools review it when a pupil moves up to the senior school.

Can a scholarship be combined with a bursary?

Often, yes. A scholarship rewards merit and does not depend on income, while a bursary is means-tested. Many families hold both, though some schools limit the combined value.
