Art Scholarships and Exhibitions

Head of Art: Mrs Sally Scott can be contacted on scotts@downehouse.net.  All Art Scholarships and Exhibitions are an honour, carrying a nominal remission in fees of £750 per annum and £450 for Exhibitioners. They are valid for the girl's school career providing she maintains a suitable standard of endeavour and conduct and fulfils the duties required of an Art Award Holder

Candidates who are successful in gaining an award, but require greater remission in fees in order to be able to take up their place may apply for an Art means-tested Bursary, as appropriate. Forms are available from the Registrar or Bursar and should be returned to the Bursar.

Duties of an Art Award Holder:  She may be required to:

• Contribute to the School Magazine.
• Take part in the appropriate art competitions
• Undertake occasional Art and Design briefs at the discretion of the Head of Art.
• Exhibit work in the school and outside if the opportunity arises and it is appropriate.

In addition, Art Award Holders would be required to take Art at GCSE level and to make a significant contribution to the Art department in the Sixth Form in order to retain their Award.
