12 Academic Scholarships
Scholarship is to be created not by compulsion, but by awakening a pure interest in knowledge. The
wise instructor accomplishes this by opening to his pupils precisely the attractions the study has for
himself. ralph waldo emerson
King's College enjoys a fine reputation for academic scholarship. Results at
both gcse and a level are amongst the best in the region and pupils go on from
King's to achieve great success at university and beyond.
The College is determined to foster an appreciation of learning for its own
sake, a scholarship and enthusiasm which goes far beyond mere examination
preparation. To this end it seeks to employ teachers who are passionate about
their subjects and are able to communicate that passion to their pupils. It also
seeks to attract boys and girls of exceptional academic potential and scholastic
ambition to set the tone and lead the way in the learning life of the College.
