Tuition Fees
Our tuition fees are listed per term, and there are three terms per academic year.
To experience a Southbank education is to belong to a community that nurtures curious, inquisitive and constantly challenging minds. Supported by exceptional teachers and facilities, leading educational technology and a supportive approach to wellbeing, your child will find a culture of care, individuality and opportunities at Southbank that shapes lifelong learners.
A handful of activities require a fee for participation in external competition or specialist facilities.
