The following, where applicable, may be charged to a pupil’s account as an Extra: extra subjects; school transport; public examination entry fees; theatre tickets, activities and excursions; GCSE, AS and A2 Level set texts and special medical or dental treatment and other ad hoc extras.

Advance Payment of Fees Composition Fee Scheme The Governors will accept the payment of a lump sum to cover the fees for five to seven years or any other agreed period. The scheme is quite flexible and if, for example, a parent wishes to deposit a single sum to provide part of the fees, a special quotation will be provided. Full details of the Scheme can be obtained from the Operations Director.
