We appreciate that choosing an independent school is a major financial commitment for any family. Our fees compare favourably with other independent schools and include many items other schools charge as ‘extras’. School fees include a daily three course lunch, books, stationery, chromebook (senior section), exam fees, learning support, curriculum-based trips and visits and student accident insurance. It’s our way of helping to keep costs to a minimum.
