We understand that the imposition of VAT on school fees brings extra planning for you when considering the cost of your child’s education. This is why we are offsetting the impact of the introduction of these fees with a 10% discount on our spring and summer term fees (for 2025).

Spring and summer term fees (for 2025) reflect a 10% discount to offset the impact of the introduction of VAT on school fees.
Sibling discounts: A reduction of 5% of the tuition fee will be made for the second child in respect of whom fees are being paid in the senior or junior school, and 10% for the third or subsequent child.
Fees do not include the cost of lunches, which are as follows:
Term |
Junior school |
Senior school |
| Autumn 2024 | £294 | £336 |
| Spring 2025 | £252 | £288 |
| Summer 2025 | £246 | £283 |
Lunches are compulsory in the pre-prep and junior school; they are optional in the senior school.
The tuition fees cover all normal expenses incurred by the school in the education of pupils. Tuition fees do not include the charges for external examinations, whether modular or linear. These are paid in advance by the school on behalf of the pupil and shown separately on fees invoices.
Parents are not charged for small-group or one-to-one sessions with our learning support coordinators. There is a £200 charge for a comprehensive learning support assessment, which often includes assessment for possible access arrangements in public exams. This assessment includes a detailed report to parents and, if appropriate, the construction of an agreed learning support strategy sheet. This charge is significantly less than the cost of a similar assessment carried out externally but parents can follow an external route instead if they wish.
An amount will be added to the fees invoice for the optional school fees refund scheme. If not declined, this cost is charged termly in advance.
Please see the school’s terms and conditions for further information about the payment of fees and extras.
