7+ scholarships
Hallfield School is delighted to offer a limited number of scholarships to children as they enter Year 3. Our prestigious Scholarship Programme recognises the exceptional abilities of children that attend Hallfield School across a number of disciplines. The Scholarship Programme extends the talents and interests of scholars through special opportunities outside of the standard curriculum they receive at Hallfield. All scholars must represent the school to the highest standards. Attendance and punctuality levels must remain above 95%, with uniform, academic and behaviour standards adhered to at all times.
Both internal and external applicants will be required to undertake an academic scholarship assessment regardless of the scholarship they are applying for.
The Scholarship assessment for children entering Year 3 in September 2025 has now passed. Applications for children entering Year 3 in September 2026 will open in Autumn 2025.
