Orwell Park School Launches Year 7 Scholarship Programme for 2027 Entry

Year 7 Scholarships are available at our leading Suffolk Prep School.

Orwell Park School is delighted to announce the launch of its Year 7 Scholarship Programme for entry in the 2027-2028 academic year, offering talented pupils the opportunity to develop their strengths through a bespoke programme of enrichment, mentorship and specialist support.  

Available to both current Orwell Park pupils and children joining the school in Year 7, scholarships range from Academic, Art & Design, Drama, Music and Sport.  There is also an All-Rounder scholarship designed to recognise exceptional academic potential alongside creative or sporting potential.  

A Scholarship Pathway Designed to Nurture Passion

At Orwell Park, scholarships are about much more than achievement alone. The School's tailored approach encourages pupils to explore their interests, challenge themselves and grow as independent young learners.

Successful candidates benefit from dedicated scholarship sessions, enrichment opportunities, specialist mentoring and personalised guidance from experienced staff. The programme is carefully designed to support pupils throughout Years 7 and 8, helping them build the skills, knowledge and independence needed to succeed in life beyond Orwell Park.

Supporting Success Beyond Orwell Park

One of the distinctive features of the scholarship programme is its clear pathway to Senior School scholarships. Pupils receive tailored preparation including interview coaching, portfolio development, performance opportunities, subject-specific mentoring and guidance throughout the application process.  

This structured support helps scholars showcase their strengths and make a successful transition to some of the UK's leading Senior Schools.

A Message from Alex Kemsley, Deputy Head (Academic)
