Payment of Fees

School fees are charged annually, but for your convenience are payable by 12 equal payments, due monthly in advance. Payments are made by direct debit, and the Bursar issues the forms to parents in June so that the direct debit can be set up before the August payment is due. Alternative methods of payment may be acceptable in exceptional circumstances by special arrangement. Other charges such as for school trips may also be paid monthly, under the same scheme.

Please note the academic year finishes on 31st August and as such the final payment is due in July.

Additional Gifts

We do not receive funding from the government or any other external body, but keep the school fees as low as possible to provide Christ-centred education to as many families as possible. 

We encourage families with higher incomes (who can often afford to contribute more) to consider making additional monthly donations to meet the financial needs of the school. Every family's situation is different, but a number of families make donations each month, some as much as £500 per child per month.

Leaving and Final Payments

If, for any reason, a child leaves school before the end of Year 11, a full term's notice (4 months) must be given, otherwise a full term’s fees are due in lieu of notice. The final payment at the end of Year 11 is in respect of the August of that year.

Fees Arrears

If payments of fees fall into arreaers for two or more months, the governors will be informed and further steps taken to recover the debt.

Review of Fees

The school governing body reviews the scale of fees in May of each year. Parents will be notified in the Summer term in time of any increase for the following year.
