Fees for the Academic Year 2024-2025
Tuition & Fees: From January 2025
Our school fees are inclusive of lunches (day pupils) or breakfast / lunch / supper (boarders) and morning and afternoon refreshments, all from our Award-Winning Chef and his team.
We continue to seek to provide as much as we can within the basic school fee in order to keep your ‘extras’ to a minimum. 'Extras' are charged respectively for the term and are added onto the fee bill.
Personal accident insurance including emergency dentistry, most clubs, and all necessary textbooks are included and we subsidise some of the off-site educational visits. All travel for games matches and otherwise when deemed representing the school as part of a team are also included in the fees. The School also has excellent learning support provision integral to the classroom (some individual assistance may be subject to additional fees).
Pre-School & After-School Care Service
Early Morning Club:
Parents can drop off Little Prestfelde children from 8am until 8.10am at the Early Morning Den (Little P Foyer) – late arrivals will be expected to wait until 8.20am when the Little Prestfelde doors will open. This facility is offered free of charge for the benefit of working parents.
Late Stayers ‘Den’:
The ‘Den’ is a club where we provide a care service for FS1 and FS2 children from 4.00pm to 5.00pm (and Year 1 and 2 on a Friday). The cost is £7.00 per hour. For children in Year 1 and 2 staying from 4.00 to 5.00 they will be able to join an activity (Monday to Thursday only). There will be a £7.00 charge for any age child in Little P for stays between 5pm and 6pm. Supper is available at £4.80 for those requiring it. Please book on SOCS should you require this

Questions about Bursaries?
Enquiries about the possibility of a bursary can be discussed confidentially with the Bursar. Bursaries are only offered to UK residents.
Payment of fees
Fees should ideally be paid by Direct Debit Monthly Payment Scheme, or by direct bank transfer before the first day of each term or via School Fee Plan. The school does not accept payment of fees and extras by cheque or cash. In addition to our Standard Terms & Conditions regarding surcharges for late payment, there is an administration charge of £25 per week.
Leaving the school
One full term’s notice (Sep-Dec, Jan-Mar, or Apr-Jul) in writing must be given by parents or guardian before a child leaves the School (except at the end of Year 8). If notice is not given, an additional payment of a term’s fees in lieu of notice is required. Notices will only be valid for 30 days. Please see full terms and conditions.
Insurances
Pupils are automatically covered under the Pupil’s Personal Accident Scheme including dental cover for emergency treatment – the cost is incorporated in the termly fees (Maximum payment £1million – please ask at the school office if you do not have a copy of the scheme details).
In addition, the school operates through Marsh Insurance Ltd a School Fee Protection Insurance to cover the accidental death of the main fee payer for up to six months and to refund part of the school fees when a pupil is absent from school due to sickness or injury. Details of the Fee Protection scheme will be sent to parents before the pupil’s first term. The cost of the insurance is 1.58% of the termly net fees.
Possessions insurance is now also available to parents wishing to take out insurance for items being brought into school including sports kits and IT equipment. Please ask the Bursar for further information about this. The cost of this is approximately £30 per annum.
