Fees from September 2018

Academic Scholarships for September 2019

Leicester High School for Girls has a long history of providing academic scholarships to selected girls joining Year 7. Our Headmaster’s Scholarships, provide support towards fees from Years 7-11, to girls joining the School in Year 7 in September 2019.

Scholarships of between 5% and 25% are awarded for outstanding performance in the January Entrance Examination, which will take place on 17 January 2019 9.00am - 12.40pm. 

Our current Year 6 girls are also welcome to apply for the scholarship and sit the examination. 

The scholarship is not means-tested, however, we are keen to encourage applications from families who may not currently be considering an independent education. Therefore, depending on financial circumstance and fund availablity, bursaries to cover up to 100% of fees are also available. 

Please contact our Admissions Officer, Mrs Alice Hailes, on 0116 270 5338 or a.hailes@leicesterhigh.co.uk to register for the scholarship or to find out more.

The Sir Thomas White Scholarship 

For the last five years, girls entering the Sixth Form from a state school, and resident in Leicestershire or Rutland, have been invited to apply for a Sir Thomas White grant, which is 100%  fees-only funded for two years. The School has had seven Sir Thomas White Scholars in recent years.  The scholarship is for an academic girl who would not have the means to pay for a place normally. The application would be means-tested, and a bursary form would need to be completed. Predicted grades and a personal statement would be requested from the school and girls selected for interview on the basis of this information. There is no guarantee that the School will be able to help girls every year. The interviews normally occur in March. Read more about Sir Thomas White here: http://www.stwcharity.co.uk/

For existing year 6-13 students or those entering years 6-13
