Record Breaking Scholarship Year for Feltonfleet Pupils

Back to News
Posted on: May 24th 2024

Feltonfleet is proud to celebrate an outstanding year of senior school scholarship achievements, with a record-breaking 32 scholarships awarded to our Year 8 pupils and an additional five to Year 6 pupils. This marks an exceptional milestone, with over 50% of Year 8 pupils securing scholarships across 14 prestigious independent senior schools in nine different disciplines, including Academic (11 awards), Sport (15 awards), Music (3 awards), and Design & Engineering (1 award).

Feltonfleet has a long-standing tradition of scholarship success, with one in three Year 8 pupils, on average, earning scholarships in recognition of their talents. Our bespoke scholarship programme, which begins in Year 6, nurtures independent learning and provides rigorous preparation - not just for the scholarship process but for long-term success at senior school.

Headmistress Shelley Lance expressed immense pride in the pupils' achievements, stating: "We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all our scholarship candidates this year, including those who narrowly missed out. The maturity, determination, and talent each pupil demonstrated throughout the process is truly commendable. The entire Feltonfleet community is incredibly proud of you all."

This year's results are a testament to Feltonfleet's commitment to excellence, opportunity, and preparing pupils to thrive in their next chapter.

This year, Mental Health Awareness Week shines a spotlight on the power and importance of community. Being part of a community can make life feel more meaningful and enjoyable, helping us feel happier and safer. At Feltonfleet, we’re using this week as an opportunity to pause and reflect with our pupils on the incredible community we share - one rooted in kindness, support, and meaningful connection. In the boarding house, on the sports fields, and around every corner of our school, there’s a spirit of togetherness and a listening ear when it’s needed most. It’s this sense of belonging that helps our pupils thrive - not just this week, but every day. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #FeltonfleetWellbeingAndCommunity #FeltonfleetWhereIndividualsReallyMatter #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #FeltonfleetWellbeingAndCommunity #FeltonfleetWhereIndividualsReallyMatter

Today, we marked the 80th anniversary of VE Day with pride and gratitude. Our prefects led an insightful assembly, sharing the significance of this historic day, and pupils added a splash of red, white, and blue to their uniforms to honor the courage and sacrifice of those who fought for our freedom. A moment to reflect, remember, and commemorate. #VEDay80 #FeltonfleetRespect

Our middle school pupils had an unforgettable time on their ski trip to Austria over the Easter break. It was fantastic to watch their confidence grow on the slopes throughout the week. One of the highlights of the trip was the exciting sledging races down the mountain. The pupils displayed great spirit and camaraderie throughout the trip. ⛷ A huge thank you to @snowslippers_ for ensuring our trip was a success! #FeltonfleetYear5 #feltonfleetyear6 #FeltonfleetCrossCurricularLearning

Our Year 7 pupils delivered an incredible performance of Return to the Forbidden Planet this week. The crew of the Starship Albatross took us on a thrilling space adventure in this sci-fi production, inspired by Shakespeare’s The Tempest and infused with 1950s rock ‘n’ roll. Their talent and teamwork were truly outstanding. Well done, Year 7! #FeltonfleetYear7 #FeltonfleetPerformingArts
