Dean's Scholars
Hereford Cathedral School’s prestigious Dean’s scholarships have been awarded annually for the past four years to pupils who perform outstandingly well in the school’s entrance examination. This year, for the first time, seven Lower Sixth formers have joined the ranks of these academic 11+ and 13+ scholars. There are 34 Dean’s scholars in the school at present:- (2003) (2002) (2001)
The sixth form scholars did not earn their awards lightly. Early in the Spring term they had to submit a letter of application to the Headmaster, supported by two academic referees, and then spend a grueling day sitting an adult verbal reasoning test, a critical reasoning paper and two scholarship examinations in the subjects that they wished to study in the sixth form. Out of the forty-four youngsters that applied, twenty were invited back the following week for an interview with the Headmaster, the Director of Studies and the Head of Sixth Form.
Selecting the seven Dean’s scholars was very difficult as so many candidates demonstrated outstanding individual strengths and interests. The depth of the applicants’ talent is reflected in the fact that in the end subject specific awards were made to an additional eleven prospective sixth form students and four deserving students were awarded an ‘All Round Award’ in recognition to their contributions already to the life of the school.
