Three students in school uniforms walk towards the large, historic brick building of St. John’s Beaumont. One carries a book, and another holds a guitar. As they pass the white rope barriers, they chat about the exciting scholarship opportunities awaiting them within those ornate walls.

Scholarships

SCHOLARSHIP ASSESSMENT DAY: SPRING TERM 2026

Applications are now open for 2026/27 Scholarships

At St John’s Beaumont, we are proud to continue our legacy of academic excellence. As part of our commitment to providing exceptional opportunities for students, we offer a range of scholarships designed to recognise and nurture outstanding talent across academics, sports, art and music, with a focus on providing opportunities for students who demonstrate both excellence and potential.

In keeping with our Jesuit heritage, we also aim to extend our reach to students who may not otherwise have access to a private education. By offering scholarships, we not only support deserving students but also help to enhance the diversity and strength of our school community. Scholarships award a percentage off tuition fees.

Applications for scholarships in 2026 are now open for pupils entering Year 3 to 7. We encourage families that are considering applying to visit the school, either on our upcoming Open Day, or an individual tour. Candidates must register via the standard admissions form, and submit the necessary reports and references ahead of the Assessment Day.
