Fees
A deposit of £1,000 is payable on acceptance of a place. This sum will be held until the end of the pupil’s final term at the school, at which point it will be refunded, less any sums owing to the Trust or School at that time.
Fees are payable in advance, annually, termly or monthly by direct debit. Fees can be pre-paid for a number of terms, years or for a specific amount. A personalised quotation will be sent on request.
The school fees, which are reviewed annually in consultation with the Girls’ Day School Trust, are listed below. Fees cover tuition (other than optional extra subjects), non-residential trips, all stationery, textbooks and scientific materials, and examination fees.
