Fees
Fees and charges from September 2012
Termly Fees : £3, 790
Payment of Fees
School Fees are charged in advance and, if paid termly, are due on or before the first day of term. Alternatively fees may, by arrangement, be paid either in monthly instalments or by depositing lump sums in advance: details of both these schemes may be obtained from the Bursar. It is worth stressing that tuition fees cover all books and materials but not public examination fees. Credit card payments of fees is accepted but a 3% surcharge will be made.
In the case of late payment, the Governors reserve the right to make a surcharge, composed of simple interest calculated at a rate of 1% of the outstanding balance per month.
Financial Assistance (Bursaries)
We are delighted to say that for September 2013 there will again be three 100% bursaries available. There will also be a significant number of smaller bursaries awarded depending on means testing and subject to the outcome of the entrance tests. Bursaries can also be offered to pupils who might otherwise have to leave the School because of financial hardship.
Sibling Discount
A reduction in fees (10% for a third child and 15% for a fourth child) will be given in cases when three or more siblings are pupils at the School (including the Junior schools) together.
Music Tuition from September 2012
Requests to begin instrumental and singing lessons with the School's visiting teachers should be made by completing a request form which can be obtained from Mrs Deborah Paddock, the Music Department's Secretary (01905 721772). Parents are reminded that a half-a-term's notice is required in writing to the music teacher of the intention to terminate music lessons and that the failure to give such notice will result in a half-a-term's fees being payable.
Termly : a maximum of £145 per term
Hire of instruments (if required) : £30
School Lunches 2012/13
All pupils are assumed to be having school lunches and will be billed accordingly, termly in advance, unless the School receives written notice to the contrary before the start of term. The termly charge is £185 in Year 7 and 8 and £200 in Years 9 to 13. Our menus are healthy and offer a wide choice. Pupils can purchase hot snacks, pastries and drinks at our mid-morning break service in the Dining Hall. Breakfast is available before school.
