Cardinal Scholarships 2012 for boys entering Year 3

During Michaelmas Term 2011, and annually thereafter, CCCS will be electing a maximum of three Cardinal Scholars from Year 2 applicants.  These boys will take up their scholarships the following September, in Form 3.  The school’s expectations in awarding the scholarships are set out below.                                                          

Cardinal Scholars will:                                                                

  • Be chosen for high academic potential
  • Be able to make an all-round contribution to the life of the school
  • Be in (and remain in) the top quarter of the class
  • Be in the top teaching sets where applicable
  • Remain in CCCS to the end of Form 8
  • Be expected to maintain the standard required to sit entrance tests (and possibly follow the scholarship route) to the more academic senior schools.

The award of a Scholarship will entitle a boy’s parents to a 15% remission on each term’s fees (excluding extras such as music tuition, costs of trips etc).  In the event of his subsequently being elected to a Cathedral Choristership, the remission will be deducted from the parental contribution to a Chorister fee.

CCCS anticipates that there will be considerable kudos for a boy holding such an scholarship, both during his time at the school and when, in due course, his parents apply for a place for him at a senior school; individual achievements always enhance a boy’s profile and are, of course, looked upon favourably. 

How to apply:

Parents wishing to enter their son for a Cardinal  Scholarship to take effect from Michaelmas Term 2012 should complete and return the application form to the Registrar, Miss Diane Price, no later than Friday 4th November 2011. Please contact her (registrar@cccs.org.uk)
