CHSG Scholarship Supplementary Information for

Admissions September 2018

A maximum of the equivalent of 10% of our admissions number per year group (currently 24 students) will be designated for Music or Sport scholarships which qualify for entry to the school.

Students wishing to apply for one of our scholarships will need to complete the supplementary application form (Appendix 2) which must be received by the school by midnight Friday 29th September 2017. Successful applicants will be invited to an assessment day (which will be held in the early part of the autumn term).

To be offered a scholarship, applicants must reach the scholarship standard. The highest ranked 24 applicants who have also named the school as a preference will be offered a place. A place will only be offered through the Pan London Co-ordinated Admission Arrangements if CHSG is stated as a preference school on the CAF (Common Application Form).

After the submission date for the CAFs, applicants who have not applied for a place at CHSG who reached scholarship standard will be removed from our scholarship ranking list. The Local Authority, following the outcome of the Pan London Co-ordinated Admission process, will remove applicants from our scholarship ranking list who have been offered a higher preference school. It is only at this point that the top 24 (10% of admissions) of scholarship applicants who have reached the required standard will be offered a scholarship place at CHSG.

Whilst the actual assessment methods differ between different disciplines the process used to determine the actual scholarships is the same. Students will need to reach a pre-determined score to be eligible for a scholarship. If more than the equivalent of 10% of students reach scholarship standard then they will be ranked according to their standardised score with the top 24 (10% of admissions) being eligible for admission. Students who reach scholarship standard but are ranked outside of the top 24 (10% of admissions) will be placed on our scholarship oversubscription list in rank order. Should scholarship places become available then the highest ranked student on the scholarship oversubscription list will be offered a place at the school.

Should places be secured through our other admissions criteria (Looked After Children, students with social or medical needs, siblings or distance) by students who reach scholarship standard then an opportunity to join the scholarship programme will be offered.

Reaching scholarship standard does not guarantee a place at CHSG as we expect there to be more students reaching scholarship standard than scholarship places available.
