Fees and Finances
School Fee 2026/27
The school fee includes tuition, food, lodging (for boarding places), the cost of most co-curricular and games activities, and the majority of educational materials. Due to the variety of activities, experiences and support on offer, there are some items that are charged additionally to the fee e.g. charges for music lessons, optional insurances and school trips. All relevant fees and charges will be subject to the prevailing VAT rate.

Payment of Fees
During each major school holiday, a pupil’s school account is sent to parents or other person responsible for payment. The school account includes the school fee for the following term, together with extras from the preceding term. Ideally school accounts should be paid by direct debit and by the start of the next term.
We are also an Introducer Appointed Representative of School Fee Plan which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. This is a way to pay school fees in instalments, via a third-party credit provider. Termly invoices are split into monthly direct debits collected on behalf of the College by School Fee Plan.
Registration and Acceptance Fees
The non-transferable Registration fee for all years of entry is £360 (including VAT)
The Acceptance deposit for pupils joining in Michaelmas 2026 is £2,500 (VAT exempt). This will be refunded: 50% will be credited to a pupil’s account at the end of their first term and the other 50% when they leave, but it is non-refundable if a child withdraws at any point during the admissions process following the 14-day cancellation period.
There is an additional deposit of a term’s fees payable by all parents living outside the United Kingdom. This will be refunded in full against the last term’s fees, unless less than a term’s notice is given on withdrawal.
All of the above fees are subject to change.
