Tuition fees include tuition, lunch and enrichment activities. Support for those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities is also included, where appropriate. We operate on a three-term academic year. The tuition fees exclude public examination fees, wraparound care and coach travel to school.

A non-refundable registration fee of £100 (inc. VAT) is applicable for all pupils wishing to apply to our school.

All day pupils pay a £500 acceptance deposit (exempt from VAT) before joining the school. Deposits are also payable by boarders. The remaining balance of deposits (less any money owed) is returned (or donated on request) after the pupil leaves the school.

We offer other combinations of boarding, for example, a week’s stay whilst parents are away. Please get in touch with our Registrar to discuss options.
