Fees
Fee information
From 1 January 2025, the UK government has confirmed that value-added tax (VAT) will be applied to school fees at the standard rate of 20%. The fee schedule below has been updated accordingly.
Schedule of fees
Fees for 2024/25
Fees include lunch on every school day including Saturdays, plus textbooks and exercise books for timetabled subjects.
| Fees per term | Excluding VAT | Including VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Day Pupil | £10,243 | £12,292 |
| Boarder | £16,453 | £19,744 |
| Day pupil entering at Sixth Form | £11,632 | £13,958 |
| Boarder entering at Sixth Form | £17,850 | £21,420 |
To reduce the impact of the VAT change in the middle of the school year, the School is supporting parents by absorbing some of the VAT cost for parents to reduce the overall cost increase from 20% to 12% for Lower and Middle School day pupils, 14% for Sixth Form day pupils, and 15% for all boarders. For those impacted by VAT, invoices for these two terms will therefore reflect the following fees:
| Fees per term for those impacted by VAT in the Lent term and Summer term 2025 | Including VAT |
|---|---|
| Day student: Lower and Middle School | £11,472 |
| Day student: Sixth Form | £11,677 |
| Boarder | £18,921 |
| Day student entering at Sixth Form | £13,260 |
| Boarder entering at Sixth Form | £20,528 |
Pupils in receipt of financial assistance will have their award adjusted to prevent any cost increase within the school year.
Supplementary charges
Supplemental charges are items or services charged in addition to the Fees above. Additional tuition and clubs beyond the timetabled curriculum, including music, drama, sport and language tuition, is priced according to the specific activity. These activities and equipment, clothing and stationery will be subject to VAT from January 2025.
A visa administration fee of £500 + VAT is payable for students requiring visa sponsorship to attend the school. The fee covers the cost of the school’s visa staffing and ongoing compliance obligations.
Fees for 2025/26
Fees for the academic year 2025/26 will be set in March 2025 as part of the school’s normal cycle.
Payment of Fees and Extras
Fees and extras may be paid by direct debit (this method requires the payer to have a UK bank account), bank transfer, cheque or bankers draft in GBP. Fees may not be paid in cash. Please click here for the direct debit form.
