TUITION FEES
Our tuition fees are listed per term, and there are three terms per academic year.
We do not currently accept debit or credit card payment.
A handful of activities require a fee for participation in external competition or specialist facilities.
PLEASE NOTE: Tuition fees for the 2026/27 academic year will be held at the same level for the following two academic years. In practical terms, this means that there will be no increase in tuition fees until September 2029, when fees will return to our usual annual review process.
