Thank you for your interest in the Eric Abbott Award for Sporting Excellence. All candidates will be required to attend an assessment. References should be provided to support applications, these should be emailed to the Admissions Team via admissions@cranleigh.org.  We will also ask you to provide the name and contact details of one or two coaches you are happy for us to contact regarding your son/daughter's playing ability on the form below. 

Candidates in any sport should have good athleticism, an excellent work ethic and demonstrate a strong desire to listen and learn. 

The value of a scholarship, should your child be successful in winning this award, is 5%. All awards made will be fees linked and will apply to boarding or day fees as appropriate.

If additional financial assistance will be required, please contact the Admissions Department as soon as possible to allow us to start the process prior to the scholarship assessments. The parents or guardians of candidates requesting bursary assistance will be required to undergo means testing via the full completion of financial circumstances forms, which will enable Cranleigh to give an initial indication of the size of bursary available in the event that the candidate should be offered an award. These forms can be requested via admissions@cranleigh.org and must be completed before a candidate is assessed for an award.

All applicants will be considered individually but candidates should demonstrate excellence in their chosen sport. Please see Guidance Criteria for EA Awards found here on the school website, for more information.
