A Transparent Fee Structure
We like to be upfront. Which is why our school fees cover many of the costs that other schools charge extra for, like meals, co-curricular activities and supervised prep.
Annual fees for full boarders, weekly boarders and day students are split into equal payments across three terms and include VAT.
All school income goes towards providing outstanding educational opportunities, thanks to our status as a registered charity.
