The registration fee is £300 (inc VAT) and a deposit of £2,000 is payable by all parents on acceptance of a place. International (non-resident) families are required to pay a full term's fees as deposit, plus an additional £500 fee for student visa administration.

The Government have announced that VAT will be imposed on school fees from January 2025.
To help mitigate the impact of VAT, the Governors have decided to reduce the headline fees for the next two terms (Lent and Trinity 2025) by 5.3%.

*Day Girls usually live close to the School so they can fully participate in all the activities the School has to offer. Day girls are provided space to study and store their personal effects but no bed is available.
**Day Boarding fees guarantees a specific allocated bed, which will be available every night of term - an additional charge of £66 will be payable per night. If a girl regularly stays at school for four nights or more per week, it is recommended parents choose the full boarding option.
