ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS
What more does the scholarship offer? Pupils strive to be in academic teams such as General Knowledge, Chess, Maths Challenges and Gifted and Talented days. They will strive to be in the top sets for subjects and to go the extra mile in project work or work in class. Other events such as lectures and workshops will be arranged on an ad hoc basis for scholars and others who have an interest in that area.
Please refer to page 18 for the opportunity of an Eastbourne College Academic Scholarship.
Mr Minister, Director of Studies, will be happy to answer any queries that parents or prospective pupils may have and can be contacted at maminister@standrewsprep.co.uk

How are pupils assessed?
The Academic award will comprise the following papers:
• Maths
• Science (for Year 7 entry)
• English, to include creative writing and a comprehension test
• Non-verbal reasoning test
All candidates will be interviewed by the Headmaster during the assessment day.
Candidates will need to bring with them a pen, pencil, rubber and ruler (calculators are not required).
Whilst the papers are designed to assess academic potential, candidates will sit papers which generally correspond to the content studied in their year group according to the National Curriculum and are therefore appropriate for children from maintained or independent schools. We do not issue past papers but Non-Verbal Reasoning books, along with other subject books are available for preparation.
Candidates should wear their current school uniform.
