Registration Fees
A non-refundable fee of £210 (£300 for overseas applications) is charged to process each student’s application.
Acceptance Deposit
Once the offer of a place is made and the place accepted, a Confirmation Deposit of £2400 is payable to confirm the place. Should an accepted applicant subsequently withdraw from the place before joining the school, this deposit is non-refundable. Otherwise, the deposit is refunded at the end of the pupil’s time in the school.
Sibling Discount
Parents with three or more children at the school at the same time will be eligible for a discount of 20% off fees for the third (and any subsequent) child. The discount will remain with the pupil until they leave the school.
Lunches
Pupils from Reception up to and including Year 11 are expected to have school lunches for the full year. This cost is added to the fees invoice.
From 1st September 2026 the cost of lunches will be:
- Reception – Year 6: £314 per term
- Years 7, 8, 9 and 10: £336 per term
- Year 11: £280 per term
For students in Years 12 and 13, parents can choose to pay the termly lunch fees or may have lunch on a pay-as-you-go basis in the dining room or Sixth Form cafe, using Parent Pay via their thumbprint, or can opt to bring in their own lunches. All Senior School students can also buy snacks and healthy food at break-time through Parent Pay.
