Transforming Lives with an Exceptional Education

Studying at Wetherby Senior is a transformative experience, and we are immensely proud of the opportunities that we offer. Bursaries and scholarships are essential to this legacy, as they allow us to welcome boys of different economic backgrounds. This has the dual impact of making a life-changing difference for the individual pupil and broadening the experience and perspectives of all our young people.

Nsouli Scholars

A Transformative Opportunity

The Nsouli Scholars Programme is an exciting global initiative that promises to transform lives by enabling 50 extraordinary students at any one time to attend any of Inspired’s prestigious schools on a full scholarship for the duration of their education. The ambition is that the scholarship will provide hundreds of children with an opportunity to receive a truly transformative education.

By opening this path to exceptional individuals, we hope to expand our community, and to empower children of all backgrounds with unrivalled opportunities in academics, sports, the arts and extracurricular activities. In this sense, the Nsouli Scholars Programme is an investment both in education and in shaping the leaders of tomorrow.

This generous endowment honours Nadim Nsouli, who founded Inspired in 2013 as a definitive statement of excellence in private international education. In recognition of Mr Nsouli’s Lebanese heritage and Inspired’s commitment to inclusivity, several scholarships will be awarded to individuals of Lebanese origin.

A Unique Education

Inspired schools offer a world-class educational experience that combines academics and engaging extra-curricular activities, producing confident, multi-skilled students who flourish in a competitive and increasingly interconnected world. Along with expert instruction by hand-picked teachers, our students access specialist sports programmes and professional tutelage from leaders in the performing and creative arts. As a result, they leave armed with a robust value system and a love of learning that extends well beyond the classroom.

Inspired is also committed to leveraging new and transformative learning technologies. Inspired AI empowers children to achieve academic excellence by delivering actionable insights that are unique to each student, including strengths and weaknesses. Our partnership with The Royal College of Music and Forte, a revolutionary online platform, enables children to receive personalised music tuition from professionals. Students with musical interests benefit from bespoke private lessons, advancing their practice as creatives and gaining valuable performance experience.

Academic Results

The advantages of our holistic approach to education are evidenced by the fact that Inspired students consistently excel in academic performance, surpassing national and global averages. In 2022, the Average Point Score was 35 for those undertaking the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma, for which the world average was 31.98, while A* scores comprised 27% of our students' A Level grades, compared to 14.6% globally. As a consequence, many are able to attend leading universities, with one in three graduates going on to a Russell Group University or Ivy League College.

Means-Tested Bursaries

Means-Tested Bursaries

Wetherby Senior offers financial assistance in the form of bursaries, which are designed to widen access to our school by (1) enabling boys to come who could not otherwise do so, and (2) allowing boys to remain at our school in the event of a change in family circumstances.

Applicants for 11+, 16+ or Occasional Place entry should indicate their intention to request a bursary when they submit their application. Our bursary application process runs alongside the admissions process for applicants at these entry points.

Applicants for 13+ entry should apply after securing a place at Wetherby Senior. Applications must be submitted by the start of the Spring Term prior to a boy joining in Year 9.

Sixth Form Academic Scholarships

Any current Year 11 pupil or prospective Year 12 pupil may apply for a Wetherby Senior Sixth Form Scholarship. These are of monetary value and are expressed as a percentage discount on school fees for the whole of the Sixth Form period. Being awarded one of our Sixth Form Academic Scholarships is a prestigious accomplishment. Scholarship holders will be recognised at Prize Day in our Summer Term and are expected to contribute to the Wetherby school community while excelling in their studies.

Prospective pupils write scholarship exams (separate from the 16+ admissions exams) during the second half of the Autumn Term in conjunction with the admissions process. The content of each paper will be GCSE-level material on subjects the boy wishes to study at A Level.

Our Scholarship Committee will meet to consider the results of the papers along with the relevant considerations, such as the candidates’ existing academic data.
