Such candidates enter at the beginning of the academic year in September. There may also be a place available, irrespective of age or time of the year, for a boy whose family is relocating from outside the Birmingham area.
All scholarships are renewable annually, subject to good progress.
The Governors offer their own Fee Remission Scheme for up to 16 candidates, which are calculated in relation to family income, and may be up to full fees. We are very grateful to Mr Ogden for his exceptionally generous sponsorship of these places. Fees are reviewed by the Governors each April and the increase applied from the following September. These fees are inclusive and cover almost all extras including books, materials and public examination entries. Boys who are above the age limit are only accepted for registration in exceptional circumstances.
