Exam Recharges

You will shortly be receiving an invoice for examination fees. The school charges these at the end of the Lent Term for examinations sat in the Trinity Term. These will be due to be paid on the first day of Trinity Term 21.04.22. Exam fees are charged at the Awarding Body rate +15% to cover the additional costs of running exams to the school. These additional costs include invigilation, exams management and administration. It is common practice for this fee to be charged by independent schools, although some consolidate this charge into their whole fee. Each Awarding Body charges an exam entry fee for each individual candidate, the fee you will be charged will be representative of the examinations for which your son or daughter has been entered.
