The annual fee is payable in three equal instalments and is due by the first day of each term or by monthly instalments with the prior agreement of the Director of Finance. The School Governors review fees annually, and will minimise fee increases where possible. Parents are normally advised of fee increases prior to the beginning of the summer term.
The fees cover all the teaching that takes place in the ordinary course of education. Parents should anticipate additional charges associated with examination fees (such as for GCSE and A Level examinations), educational trips, special education needs, and English as an Additional Language lessons, where applicable.
