IC6 Academic Scholarship

What is it?

This scholarship is awarded to students who not only demonstrate the potential for academic excellence but also possess a genuine intellectual curiosity and a deep engagement with their chosen subjects. These students stand out for their ability to think critically and reflectively, approaching their studies with a desire to explore ideas beyond the surface. They exhibit a capacity for independent thought and a willingness to challenge assumptions, often delving into complex concepts with enthusiasm and insight. The scholarship seeks to recognize those who are not merely content with mastering the basics but are driven by a profound interest in their subjects.

Scholars programme

Academic scholars will take an active role in leading extra-curricular clubs such as the Sacks Society. They will take part in academic enrichment trips such as our culture visits/tours. Scholars will also be given opportunities in the study of their chosen subjects to engage in academic enhancement.

Expectations

  • They will act as peer mentors to support the work of students in lower year groups as well as to develop their ability to articulate their knowledge.
  • Students will also be expected to continue to perform at the top level of their study scoring consistently highly across their chosen disciplines.
  • All academic scholars are expected to complete an EPQ if they have not already done so.
