ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS 2012
Sherborne Qatar is a British school established in 2009 under the Supreme Education Council's Outstanding Schools initiative and offering a British based curriculum from Reception to Year 10. As part of its continuing expansion, the Senior School is pleased to announce the introduction of its Academic Scholarship Awards.
Scholars are those pupils who are at the top of their Year Group. There are scholars in all leading UK Independent Schools. SQ Scholars will be expected to play a leading role not only in the academic life of the school, but also in the cross-curricular programme too.
We are looking for bright, inquisitive, engaging and interesting pupils, all of whom will add something special to Sherborne Qatar. Successful candidates will have scored high marks in the English and Mathematics examination papers, and will have come across well in their interviews with the Headmaster and other colleagues. They will also have received a recommendation from their current school that clearly shows that a high standard of attainment in several subjects has been achieved over an extended period of time. At Sherborne Qatar, the curriculum is delivered in English, and so a high standard of both written and spoken language is expected.
The scholarship examinations are only the beginning, because we want to help SQ Scholars to achieve their full potential at IGCSE and beyond. There will be a programme of special events and challenges for them, which will require commitment and independent research or learning. The programme will include visits, lectures, discussions, practical challenges and essays. There will be opportunities to join their counterparts in Sherborne Dorset via video links and email.
In cases where there are financial needs, such that a successful candidate would not be able to attend Sherborne Qatar without some support, a reduction in fees will be made. If there is no financial need then the scholarship will be an honorary one. There will be no cash equivalent offered for those whose fees are met by an employer.
The Scholarship Award is initially for two years, but can be extended into the Sixth Form.
