Admissions
Blundell's mainly admits at 11+, 13+ and sixth form, though the school also guides families applying at other points where places exist. Published admissions information encourages early visits, clear communication with the registrar and a process that combines assessment with a broader view of fit and potential.
Scholarships
Blundell's publishes scholarships and exhibitions at 11+, 13+ and 16+ across academic work, art, drama, music, sport and related areas. Means-tested foundation bursaries sit alongside those awards, and the school also highlights support for eligible military families.

- The school publishes bursary information on the main admissions pages; families should confirm current entry-point arrangements directly.
- No fixed remission cap is published for the general bursary scheme.
- Families should contact admissions and the school bursary team for current criteria and documentation requirements.
Inspection snapshot
Blundell's says its December 2025 ISI inspection found the school fully compliant and identified two significant strengths. That public summary reinforces the school's long-standing message of academic seriousness, strong pastoral structures and a broad boarding-and-day culture.
