Fees, Scholarships & Bursaries Fees
Applications
Bursaries
The fee for 2021-2022 is £17,631 per annum all-inclusive with a 5% reduction for brothers and sisters who are not receiving any bursary awards. For the convenience of parents, this annual fee is divided into three termly payments of £5,877. All day trips, sports, sport fixtures, societies and clubs are included within the fee. The only exception is Sailing Club, which requires a £60 yearly membership fee and Paddle Boarding Club, which is on a pay as you go basis. Optional extras include: lunches, school bus, insurance, instrumental tuition, residential trips and tours. The Governors try to maintain the fee for the academic year but reserve the right to alter it, if necessary (giving parents a term’s notice).
A £50 non-returnable fee is charged for an application except when the application to be considered is for a bursary place when the fee is £25.
Payment
Fees cannot be refunded for absence and parents are advised to take advantage of the school fees remission scheme, details of which are forwarded when a pupil enters the school. Parents are also invited to consider insuring the payment of school fees in the event of the death of the fee payer. Parents are advised to take independent advice should they wish to use any third party insurance options.
The school will offer a number of means-tested bursaries each year to pupils entering the First and Third Years and the Sixth Form. Bursaries will have a maximum value of 100% of the full fee which would value them at £17,631 in 2021-2022. In addition to taking account of all relevant sources of income, the school takes account of relevant capital assets. Applicants should note that subject to your capital assets, if your gross family income is below approximately £32,000 you may qualify for a full bursary. If your gross family income is in excess of approximately £73,000 you would not qualify for any assistance. Between these two figures a sliding scale will operate. This scale is subject to annual review. Once awarded, the entitlement to a bursary will remain with a pupil throughout his or her time at the school and will be reviewed annually.
Payments are by direct debit on the first day of term unless an alternative arrangement has been agreed. Third party companies provide monthly payment options, details of which will be forwarded with the Autumn Term fee account. Parents are advised to take independent financial advice should they wish to use any third party payment options.
Deposit If, in due course, a place is offered, a deposit of £200 will be payable when the offer is accepted. This deposit will be repaid, without interest, within three months of the pupil leaving the school less any sums due to the school on leaving.

Lunches For 2021-2022, the cost of lunch is £5.00 per day. For that price, students have a choice of salads, soups, sandwiches, hot dinners, vegetables and desserts.
Withdrawal One term’s notice in writing of the intention to withdraw a pupil from the school must be given. Without such notice a term’s fee in lieu of notice is due.
Insurance
Academic Scholarships A limited number of scholarships are available to entrants at age 11+ and 13+, valued at up to 10% of the fee per annum. These will be awarded on the results of the Admissions Examination. The scholarships awarded at 11+ are tenable for three years and those awarded at 13+ are tenable for one year. There is no need to apply for an academic scholarship as all applicants are automatically eligible.
