Creative Scholarships
Our Creative Scholars Programme offers an exceptional platform for talented students in Art, Design, Music, and Drama to flourish. With access to expert-led workshops, performances, and unique opportunities, scholars are supported to develop their skills, explore their passions, and showcase their talents.
Opportunities for All Creative Scholars
Cultural Enrichment
Creative Scholars are regularly taken beyond the classroom to experience the arts first-hand. They attend a variety of professional concerts, plays, and performances each year. Each event is followed by a written review, sharpening analytical skills and often leading to publication in various school media.

During my time at Culford I have found endless support from all departments across the school, and it was the opportunities I embraced that have shaped me into the person I am.

History
I have tried to immerse myself in as many things as possible to gain as much experience as I can before I leave Culford. This has given me such a positive outlook on life.

Art and Honorary Scholar
Kingston University London
Art Foundation
The people at Culford have made it such a fulfilling place to be. All of my teachers have left an impression on me; without their passion, I doubt I would have developed such a love for maths and pursued it further at university.
