Hampton Sports Scholarship 11+

[Aroundandabout]

Hi all,

Does anyone know the standard required for Sports Scholarships? I can see the blurb says should be able to play at country, regional or national level, is that in reality the standard? My son is is more an all-rounder but maybe not as good as many! Main sports are football and cricket and plays for school and club, as well as in a basketball team and table tennis to a very good standard but appreciate the latter two don’t really count 🙃. Just wondering whether we should bother.

Thanks x

Firstly he has to pass the academic exam and secondly the scholarship won't be worth that much, maybe 10%. I see the Sept 2025 fees aren't on the website yet but you will looking at about £1000 off £10,000 fees per term if that is your motivation. Yes the standard is very high, this area is full of sporty multi talented ds aged 10 to 11.

Thankyou for the info. He’s already got a place as he’s at the prep, but would have to properly work for the exam! A collection of his friends are going for the scholarship; hence my question as he’ll have to sit the exam as well and currently he doesn’t need to! Motivation is only because he’s come home and said please can he do it as X and Y are. I would happily swerve any exam!

You might as well then, you can see the standard from the school Instagram.
