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).

Scholarships

Bursaries

The School offers some bursaries in cases of permanent or temporary financial hardship. In order to make optimum use of the funds available, applicants are means-tested (including external review by Bursary Administration Limited) to determine the extent and duration of assistance required. Both parents will be expected to be working unless there are very young children or other needs requiring a carer. Enquiries about the possibility of a bursary should be discussed with the Bursar who will send a Bursary Application Form for completion. All applications for a bursary are reviewed by the Concessions Committee. Current bursary awards are reviewed on a yearly basis.

Optional Extras

Learning Support

Although much is now integral to the school provision and part of the fee, the school runs a comprehensive learning support facility, charged according to need and support. Please speak with the School SENCO who oversee the provision of learning support for further information.

Diagnostic assessment is also available and arrangements and provision should in the first instance should be discussed with the SENCO. Charges start at £350 depending on requirements.

Music Lessons

In order to comply with HMRC regulations, the School does not administrate individual music lessons conducted by Visiting Music Teachers (Peris) who charge an amount they deem appropriate. All arrangements will be between the Peri and parents (including any contractual agreements); but, this will be facilitated by the Director of Music. Where the Peri is given sufficient notice of an absence, an alternative lesson can be arranged; otherwise, the Peri will be obliged to charge for missed lessons. Please book music lessons, following consultation with Mr Kindred, with the relevant Peri Teacher. Please contact the School Office if you require further information.

Notice should be provided by the parent should children not be able to attend the clubs.
