Kingsdale Scholarships.

[Lottslou11]

Hello everyone,

My daughter sat the Kingsdale Mathematics Scholarship assessment last week.

She has reached half scholarship standard.

Does anyone know what this means in terms of what she will get?

I know about the full scholarships, but not sure what is on offer (if anything) for half scholarships.

Thank you.

I'm not sure. I know someone who got Gifted and Talented in Maths, but I don't believe they get any extra lessons (according to my son anyway).

The Maths scholars are going on a trip abroad this year with limited places, and when these were not all taken up, spare places were offered to Gifted and Talented Students, so the child we know is going on that trip (I'd assume that would be the same for half-scholarships in this regard).

I don't recall any mention of half-scholars for Maths so wonder if they get moved to Full Scholars or G&T once in the school - if you email they will probably answer, but maybe a bit later in the year.

Good luck.

She will be invited to the Maths Scolars' days at Imperial University where they work with undergrads on problem solving and also invited on maths trips. She will also be invited to attend specialist maths sessions in school.
