“We understand that in today’s economic climate, the decision to choose an independent school is a significant one for families, particularly in our region. For many, this choice may feel out of reach. We want to make Shebbear College more accessible and in response have launched a new Sixth Form Scholarship programme, offering substantial tuition fee reductions. We hope this initiative will open the door to new students, celebrate sporting excellence, and provide new opportunities for our athletes.” (Mr Jenkins)
We are inviting excellent sportsmen and women to join the Shebbear College Sixth Form this September, with the introduction of a groundbreaking new scholarship program. This initiative, enabled under our new owners, Inspired Learning Group (ILG), will not only significantly reduce tuition fees (by 80%) but also provide talented athletes with unparalleled opportunities for growth and development.
At Shebbear, we have long been known for our sport, with our biggest asset being the strength of our PE staff, who between them have a plethora of qualifications, coaching experience and playing experience – including an ex-England rugby player. Our sports teams regularly compete at a national level and recent successes include competing at the Independent Schools Association (ISA) National Netball Finals, the National Schools Equestrian Association (NSEA) National Finals, the ISA Swimming National Finals, the National Golf Championships and the ISA National Athletics finals, securing outstanding results.
Head of Sport, Mr Nicholls, said “While we excel in traditional sports like rugby, hockey, netball, and football, we also have a thriving presence in niche disciplines such as equestrian, basketball, and golf. We’re equally committed to expanding opportunities for girls’ sports, particularly in rugby and football. Our Sports calendar is extensive and includes opportunities for everyone – our U14 and U16 rugby players are currently on a high, having just returned from the Rosslyn Park National School Sevens Tournament! We’re excited to extend these opportunities and encourage all aspiring athletes to apply.”
This initiative is primarily focused on sport but we also have scholarships available to students who excel academically or in the performing and creative arts.
The application process is simple and accessible, with an easy-to-complete form available here. For more information, please contact the Admissions Department at 01409 282009 or email [email protected].
