More Information

Unless otherwise indicated, it is usual for only one award to be made in each category, additional awards may be made if there is a particularly strong field and the Headmistress considers this to be appropriate. Conversely, the School is not obliged to make all of the advertised awards in every year.

It is expected that scholarships, awards and exhibitions will be tenable throughout the holder’s school career. Scholarships, awards and exhibitions are regularly reviewed by the Headmistress, who will satisfy herself regarding the pupil’s diligence, progress, attitude and good conduct. Scholars will be expected to play a full and willing part in the life of the school, make a significant and noticeable contribution to the School's community and act as a role model for other pupils.

A current girl who is already the holder of a scholarship, award or exhibition from Badminton School may apply for a different one at a later stage; if she were awarded both then she would need to decide which would be an honorary title (e.g. gain benefit and status but not financial value of both).

It is open to parents to renounce the emoluments of any award. Their daughter will retain the full status of a scholar and the funds released will be transferred to the School’s bursary funds to provide financial support for those who require financial assistance.
