Candidates are expected to display a good standard of academic attainment, as well as ability and promise in sport, where candidates should be of ‘A’ team standard in at least one major game and be a strong participant in at least two further areas of school life. It is anticipated that these will be chosen fromMusic, Art, Design &Technology and Drama, but other skill areas such as Dance or Speech & Drama will be considered. Candidates will be interviewed by the Head and/or the Deputy Head Academic. Candidates will be given opportunities to demonstrate their capabilities in sport and their other specified skills. They will be exposed to a series of tests designed to identify current standard, potential and ability to respond to coaching/ teaching. Candidates may provide a reference from an external club/ county coach, music teacher, etc. to verify achieved standards. Candidates will also take a multiple-choice test of reading comprehension. 19 CLAYESMORE | SCHOLARSHIPS & AWARDS
