We recognise distinctive abilities and potential through our Scholars Pathway which is designed to nurture talent and ability. A number of scholarships are available to students entering our Senior section and Sixth Form.  Our Scholars Pathway is an integral part of their academic provision, preparing each scholar for exceptional academic performance.

 

Radcliffe Scholars Programme

The Radcliffe Scholars Programme at Queen Elizabeth Grammar School is a prestigious academic enrichment programme and unique opportunity for pupils who demonstrate exceptional potential and a commitment to academic excellence. Selected through entrance tests at the start of Year 7, Radcliffe Scholars are identified for their outstanding abilities. The programme, running from Year 7 to Year 11, aims to cultivate a lifelong passion for learning, equip pupils with essential skills for future success, and foster leadership within the school community.

Through a range of enrichment activities, Radcliffe Scholars are encouraged to excel academically, support their peers, and aspire to high standards across all subjects. The programme also provides tailored support for those aiming to apply to Oxbridge or other competitive university courses. As they progress, students in Year 10  may be recognised as Honorary Scholars, gaining further opportunities to extend their learning and leadership skills.
