Bursaries
We have a growing programme for financial assistance available at all Senior School entry points. We want Redmaids’ High to be accessible to ambitious and able girls across Bristol and beyond who would benefit from the education we offer, regardless of socio-economic background. To achieve this we are increasing our offer of means-tested fee assistance. To find out more about the criteria for bursary applications, click here.
Scholarships
Once registered for the school, any student at any senior year of entry will have the opportunity to become a scholar. Scholarships are awarded on a tiered basis and further information is available in the attached sheet below. For an academic award, selection will be based on exceptional entrance examination results. Applicants for Music and Sports awards will need to complete a separate form at the point of registration and a shortlist of candidates will be assessed on set days. Current students also have the opportunity to apply to be a scholar moving into years 7, 10 and 12. All scholars will need to display true passion and talent for their subject to be considered.
During their time at Redmaids’ High, scholars will be given access to a range of opportunities, masterclasses, additional training, and competitions in order to stretch and challenge them in their preferred field. In addition to this, for truly exceptional candidates, there may be a financial award made. Scholars play an important part in the school community, by sharing their enthusiasm and being an example to their peers.
Athena Development Grants
Redmaids’ High proudly provides all students in Year 9 and again in Sixth Form the opportunity to gain funding to pursue a particular passion, deepen knowledge or acquire new skills, all to aid their personal development. In this unique initiative, a grant of £250 is available at both points. Successful applicants have secured funding for a wide variety of passions, including swimming lessons to learn a valuable life skill, to pursue a German language certificate, entry fee to a week-long sailing regatta or a sewing machine to work on textiles projects at home. More information is available via the Admissions Team.
