With many private schools placing huge emphasis on extra-curricular activities, it isn’t surprising that many scholarships are awarded for music and sport. Winners of these are often given a fairly substantial discount of around one-third of fees, and are expected to contribute significantly towards these activities when at the school. Be aware that if your child wins one of these, they will be expected to spend a good deal of time playing in orchestras or sports teams, so do make sure they will be happy to do this.
