This contribution helps to cover additional services such as specialist lessons, outdoor learning, mid-morning and mid-afternoon snacks, outings, textbooks, ICT, and other enrichment activities.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Tuition and boarding fees are subject to annual revision.

Fees in respect of a pupil’s first term are due on the date of parental acceptance of a place for their child but need not be paid until the account is received.

All fees are required to be paid by the first day of term. One term’s fees will be payable by parents who accept a place which is not subsequently taken up.

No remission of fees can be made in the event of temporary closure of the school resulting from an act or event outside the control of the Governors.

Withdrawal requirements are set out on the Admissions Procedure sheet.  Details of the Composition Fees Scheme can be obtained from the Accounts Department.
