Eaton House The Manor Girl\u2019s School Headmistress Mrs Claire Fildes offers her advice on 7 ways to spot a girl with scholarship potential:<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0They are prepared to go the extra mile:<\/b>\u00a0There is a sense from most scholars that they are determined, highly self-disciplined individuals who are prepared to work hard over a prolonged period of time.<\/p>\n
2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0They possess a strong desire to improve:<\/b>\u00a0They love an opportunity to grapple with one challenge after the next and quickly learn from their mistakes.<\/p>\n
3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0They love to practise:\u00a0<\/b>Whether it be for the practical areas of Sport, Music, Art and Drama, or the purely academic category, a scholar will not only be wanting to practise a skill or knowledge set for hour after hour\u00a0but will use that time effectively<\/p>\n
4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0They want to know more:<\/b>\u00a0A scholar will also be keen to explore their subject beyond what is simply provided in school.<\/p>\n
5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0They often score 130+:\u00a0<\/b>When doing cognitive ability tests which generate standardised scores, a potential academic scholar will often be gaining scores in excess of 130.<\/p>\n
6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0They set the bar high:\u00a0<\/b>Senior schools may well be looking for a candidate to have achieved Grade 5 with at least one instrument to put them in with a chance of securing a Music scholarship, and to be competing at county or regional standard for a Sports scholarship. In Drama and Art, versatility, originality and audition pieces\/portfolios prepared to a highly sophisticated standard will always help a girl stand out. Scholars might also read extensively, attend external clubs and visit a variety of events, all of which are somehow linked to their area of ever-growing expertise.<\/p>\n
7.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0They have a passion<\/b>: A scholar often has that passion to live, eat and breathe something.\u00a0 Sometimes this might manifest itself through an exuberant, confident personality but by no means always. The sparkle, however, is always there!<\/p>\n
