 Year 6 Awards for entry into Senior School
Up to £1,800 per year
 
These Awards are granted to existing Chapter House pupils who are about to move through to Queen Ethelburga's Senior School. The value of the Awards are based on a mixture of the Key Stage 2 Test results overlaid with how many continuous terms the pupil has been in Chapter House and whether they will be a day pupil or boarder when in QE. This Award becomes first payable upon the commencement of Year 7. The Award is automatically reviewed to decide whether it will be continued, varied or removed as results are known at Key Stage 3 and GCSE.

Key Stage 2 Test results are gained in English, Maths and Science. In each subject there are a maximum number of marks available. From year to year the maximum number of marks possible may vary and each year what number of marks gained by a pupil qualifies for a Level 3, 4 or 5 also can vary. Thus to be consistent from year to year we make these Awards based on the percentage of pass marks in an individual subject.

For example there may be a total of 50 marks possible in Maths. A pupil scoring 40 marks has thus gained 80%. Having worked out each child's percentage score in each of the three subjects we then add them up to produce the total of all 3 percentages. If say a child achieved 80% in English, 85% in Maths and 80% in Science then they have a achieved a total of 245%. If they had been at Chapter House for 12 terms and were going to be a boarder at QE they would qualify for an Award worth £1,000 per year.

Previous Key Stage 2 test results gained by Chapter House pupils show that on average well over half of the year group are capable of qualifying for an Award as detailed below.
