To apply for a Netball Scholarship, candidates must be actively competing in Ladies Netball at National League, Regional League, County or equivalent League. Candidates should be playing in, or previously trialed for the County Academy Pathway.
If you feel that you meet these criteria, the next stage is to complete an application submit a letter detailing your sporting achievements and training programme and, where appropriate, a reference from an external coach. The referee should not be a member of the School PE Department. This must include information such as:
- School level representation, competitions competed, and place achieved at club level or representative level.
- Amount of training, ranking or awards gained.
- Name of club your daughter represents and contact details for her coach.
- Sporting achievements relevant to your daughter’s sport application.
All videos, photos and documents should be uploaded to the Secure Transfer File, provided by the Admissions team, with the file name as your daughter’s full name and a short descriptive title (e.g. JANE SMITH, Coach Reference).
Shortlisting of Candidates
The Head of Netball will review each application.
Assessment for Shortlisted Candidates
Shortlisted candidates are invited to attend an assessment session. Candidates may be asked to complete stamina and skill-based tests in isolation or in small competitive situations and engage in normal game play. Surbiton High School staff will interact with candidates on a one-to-one basis; however, a formal interview will not be conducted.
