Hi,
My dd will be going into the Irish equivalent of Year 12 next year and she isn't satisfied with her school at all. It doesn't test her academically and it will not get her into the university the wants to go to. She has been asking for a while if she can attend Charterhouse (starting September 2015) but that would only be possible if she gets a scholarship. I am a single mother of four with a yearly income of £19550 so as much as I would love to be able to afford to send her there I simply cannot afford it.
She is a bright child having recently received 12As in her junior cert (irish equivalent of GCSEs) the highest result in the country. She is also sporty, she competes on the Irish swim team although she has never played most of the sports played by Charterhouse (cricket,lacrosse,fives etc.) because they're not available in our area. She also received a distinction in her classical piano diploma from the London College of Music.
She has been working two part time jobs for a year and the application fee alone was 3 months of her wages. We are not able to fly over to see the school but I am confident that she has made the right choice for her. However I was wondering if anyone knew if there are scholarships available for sixth form. And if it's not a full scholarship would financial aid be available to cover the surplus?
Thanks
