Scholarships
Our mission is to welcome talented pupils who demonstrate potential for excellence, whether their exceptional qualities are academic, in sport, in performing or creative arts or in a wide range of other activities. This is the purpose of our programme of scholarships. We also recognise pupils with multiple talents with all-rounder awards. Awards are offered to pupils joining Plymouth College Senior School both at 13+, as well as in the Sixth Form (16+). In addition, internal awards are made within the School to pupils in Years 8 and 11 (Summer Term), recognising those who show academic excellence or a strong commitment to their studies and who contribute significantly in Sport, Performing Arts, or Art. These awards apply to the following academic year. Scholarships are reviewed annually by Head, Mr. Peter Watts.
Bursaries
Very importantly, we regard ourselves as a progressive, inclusive community so, we also offer financial assistance, in the form of as many means-tested bursaries as we are able to sustain, so that talented pupils who otherwise would not be able to afford to do so may access the fantastic education we have to offer. If you believe that your child might be eligible for a scholarship or that your family may be eligible for financial assistance then please do not hesitate contact admissions@plymouthcollege.com for further information and support.
A-level performance
Value-added and attainment indicators for sixth-form students (England). Figures are for context; always confirm with the school.
Progress Score
These figures tell you how much progress students who studied A levels at this school or college made between the end of key stage 4 and the end of their A level studies, compared to similar students across England. These scores are also known as 'value added' scores.
The scores are calculated by comparing the A-level results of students at this school or college with the A level results of students in schools and colleges across England who started with similar results at the end of the previous key stage – key stage 4.
A score above zero means students made more progress, on average, than students across England who got similar results at the end of key stage 4. A score below zero means students made less progress, on average, than students across England who got similar results at the end of key stage 4.
