Cordwalles offers three Scholarships for entry into Grade 4 (boys turning 10 in their Grade 4 year). These Scholarships have very specific criteria, but should you meet those criteria, they offer the most wonderful opportunity.
All scholarships are worth 100% of tuition, uniform, private music lessons and boarding costs. Our scholarship boys enjoy the opportunities offered by a variety of sports activities on expansive playing fields, well-equipped classrooms, as well as exciting music and cultural programmes before they leave Cordwalles at the end of Grade 7 to enter High School.

The principal objectives of the Foundation are “to benefit, through education, the disadvantaged, and to support world-class environmental research together with the effective communication and application thereof.”
Since 2007, the Frank Jackson Foundation has offered their Scholarship Programme at Cordwalles Preparatory School awarding two scholarships each year to boys from previously disadvantaged backgrounds.
