This is in recognition of outstanding potential as a future leader in Engineering. The Arkwright Scholarships Trust ensures that more of the country’s ‘brightest and best’ science and maths pupils remain focused on an engineering path over the 16 to 18 age range - the critical years when teenage dreams and aspirations translate into firm tertiary education choices and career plans. The charity fully supports both higher apprentice and undergraduate career paths. The charity awards prestigious scholarships through rigorous selection to outstanding technology-minded school pupils. Candidates must pass a selection process comprising a detailed application form with teacher’s reference, a two-hour engineering problem-solving exam and an engineering-focused interview. The scholarships provide engineering enrichment, funding and experience throughout the two years of A levels and BTEC Level 3s. Well done, Ben! **Tags:** [Sixth Form](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/sixth-form) [2023-2024](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/2023-2024) [Senior School](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/senior-school) [DesignTechnology](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/designtechnology) - [ previous](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2023-12-14-form-1z-win-christmas-door-decorating-competition) - [next ](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2023-12-15-junior-and-infant-pupils-in-festive-spirits-after-trip-to-the-panto) - [Mission Statement](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/mission-statement) - [Latest News](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news) - [History of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/history) - [Location & Community](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/location) - [Term Dates](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/termdates) - [Statutory Information](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/statutory-information) - [School Policies](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/policy-documents) - [Calendar](https://calendar.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/week.aspx?ID=158) - [The Kirkhamian](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news-1/the-kirkhamian) - [The Friends of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/thefriends-of-kgs) - [Old Kirkhamians' Association](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/old-kirkhamians-association) - [Hire of Facilities](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/hire-of-facilities) - [Vacancies](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/vacancies/our-vacancies) ## Kirkham Grammar School ## Kirkham Grammar Junior, Infant & Pre-School Ribby Rd Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BH Tel: **01772 684264** Email: Ribby Road Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BD Tel: **01772 673222** Email: [![HMC Leading Independent Schools](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/hmc.png)](https://www.hmc.org.uk/)[![Boarding Schools' Association](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/bsa.png)](http://www.boarding.org.uk/) © Copyright 2019–2026 Kirkham Grammar School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
