Working with partner schools, we encourage disadvantaged students to apply for the scholarship programme, using the following criteria:
Free School Meals
Pupils in state schools in receipt of free school meals. This is one of the most well-established definers of poverty.
Pupil Premium
Pupil Premium Plus
Bursary
Low Participation Postcodes
First Generation

HOW WE SELECT
Candidates are interviewed, but not selected on narrow academic criteria. We look at GCSE results, plus commitment and academic interest demonstrated in the interview, application form and the school's feedback.
