School fees
As a charity, we don’t make a profit. All fees support the daily operation of the school – salaries, academic resources, equipment – and any surplus is reinvested to further improve the school and the quality of teaching. We have not increased our school fees in 2025-2026 to continue to support our families with eth VAT change.
Our school fees (which include educational fees and lunch fees) for the year 2025-2026, including VAT where applicable, are:
PS = £15,440 (exempt from VAT)
MS/GS = £18,306 (including £2,866 VAT)
Primary = £15,882 (including £2,462 VAT)
Secondary = £16,162 (including £2,462 VAT)
These fees include school lunches (4 lunches per week for early years and primary, 5 lunches per week for secondary). You can find a detailed breakdown of the fees here.
The school fees for 2026–2027 will be published as soon as they are finalised, between December 2025 and January 2026.
