The King's Scholarship Objectives

• Encouraging Academic Excellence: The primary objective of The King's Scholarship is to recognise and celebrate exceptional academic performance among students in Southport's high schools. We aim to inspire a culture of academic excellence and motivate students to strive to achieve their full potential.
