FORBES WASTIE ALL-ROUNDER SCHOLARSHIP AWARD
Candidates who show talent in a number of areas should be supported and encouraged to flourish and develop as an all-rounder. Eastbourne College is proud to offer the Forbes Wastie Award to pupils who are assessed as strong in many areas. Mr Wastie was a distinguished and long- serving College Deputy Head, and was himself a renaissance man who excelled in a number of different fields. HOW WILL PUPILS BE ASSESSED? All Forbes Wastie Award candidates will be assessed in academic ability, potential and aptitude, as well as leadership skills. In addition, candidates will be able to nominate two other scholarship areas to be assessed in art, dance, design & technology, drama, music, or sport. Candidates will be asked to join three assessment days: • A standalone academic assessment day that will assess academic profile and teamwork.This will include underlying academic ability tests, an English and Maths assessment and an interview/group discussion • The assessment days for their two other chosen disciplines, which will need to follow the same assessment criteria as those disciplines (please see previous pages for information).
WHAT MORE DOES THE SCHOLARSHIP OFFER?
Those who hold a Forbes Wastie Award will be nominated by the College to take advantage of the academic scholar provision and one other from their areas of talent.
