Newcastle High School for Girls is proud to offer an awards programme for girls joining our Senior School at Year 7 and Year 12.
It is our responsibility to create an environment that

and rewarding the brightest, most talented, gifted
and dedicated girls, regardless of their financial
circumstances.
Part of the Girls’ Day School Trust family, Newcastle
High School for Girls has a history of ensuring all our
pupils fulfil their potential. Across our family of schools,
one in five girls benefit from some form of financial
assistance, either through a scholarship or bursary.
In summary, the NHSG Awards for 2019 included:
NHSG Scholar Awards, Year 7
Available at Year 7 entry, these non means-tested awards recognise academic excellence and are based on exceptional performance in our entrance examinations. Those awarded will receive a remission of school fees of up to 30% per year for the NHSG Head's Scholar Award and up to 20% for an NHSG Scholar Award, for the duration of a girl’s school career at NHSG.
Exhibition Awards (Dance, Music, Sport, Prior Exceptional Achievement), Year 7
We offer one specialist award for a girl who is gifted and talented in one of the listed disciplines and can demonstrate her skills and potential. The value of the Exhibition
Award is a fixed sum remission of school fees of up to £1,000 per year for the duration of a girl’s school career at NHSG and is intended to help support the pupil’s development in her discipline.
Bursary Awards, Year 7 and Year 12
We believe every girl who is bright and eager to learn should be given the opportunity to fulfil her potential regardless of financial circumstances,therefore we offer a limited number of bursaries to assist girls joining us in Year 7 and Year 12. These are awarded for the duration of a girl’s school
career at NHSG. Eligibility for a bursary award is determined by the outcome of a Financial Means Assessment undertaken by a girl's parents combined with the girl's academic performance.
The NHSG Awards programme is updated annually, usually by the the end of the Summer Term and applications must be completed by the end of November for entry to the School in the following September.
