Scholarships may be awarded to suitable candidates from primary and preparatory schools showing high all-round ability. Assessments will be held at Hampton in early February for both 11+ candidates and 13+ candidates.
 

Candidates are invited to offer one, two or three areas where they excel, choosing from Art, Chess, Drama, Music or Sports. Most candidates offer three skill areas.  Candidates with considerable ability in two areas may offer those two skills only.  Candidates of exceptional ability in Sport, Chess or Drama may offer that area only. To be eligible for assessment in Music, candidates should have attained at least Grade 3 standard (at age 11) and Grade 4 standard (at age 13) in their chosen instrument. 
 

For candidates offering Art and Music only there are separate awards
 

Candidates invited to the All-Rounder assessment day will be assessed in their chosen activities by specialist members of staff, undergo an academic interview and may also have to complete a short written exercise. The School asks the candidate’s current Headteacher for a report. Letters of support from other representative bodies are also welcome..
 

Criteria
 

An All-Rounder award can only be made to a candidate who reaches the qualifying academic standard in the appropriate entrance examination. 
 

 

Tenure of an award will be subject to the holder’s satisfactory continued academic work, conduct and commitment to his field(s) of expertise at Hampton School.  An All-Rounder Award can only be held in an honorary capacity if the holder achieves another Award which he elects to hold.
