Scholarships

Entry to LEH is open to all girls, though it is selective based on academic merit. Entry is ordinarily at Years 3, 7 and 12. Scholarships and exhibitions are awarded for academic and musical merit on the basis of written examination, interview and/or audition for both Year 7 and Year 12 entry. Sports Scholarships are offered internally at 16+.

Bursaries

The school operates a means tested bursary scheme remitting up to 100% of fees, and are available at all years of entry. Bursaries are advertised and publicised widely, including a joint promotional programme with other independent school in London: www.feeassistancelondonschools.org.uk
