Fees

*Tuition fees per term: £2825

It is the governors' policy to keep fees to a minimum while maintaining and, where appropriate, improving the school's standards and facilities. They are normally reviewed annually, with any change coming into effect from September, and are only subject to further increase in any one year if external factors cause costs to rise at a substantially higher rate than anticipated. Parents normally receive a term's notice of any increase.

*includes all stationery, textbooks, standard exam fees and personal accident insurance

Financial Assistance/Bursaries

Bursaries are available in the Senior School and Sixth Form.
