The school fees charged include all programmes, activities and materials which are essential to the teaching of the curriculum and the learning experience students will benefit from while enroled in our school. This includes lunches and snacks, textbooks, workbooks, learning equipment and supplies, a selection of after school activities, academic boosters, day trips, residential trips, the Duke of Edinburgh International Award (excluding registration fees) and student’s participation in some school performances.

In addition to the school fees, there are some charges which will be billed to parents separately. These fees are for items which are either on a per student basis or optional fees for activities that are not essential to the curriculum and learning. These include fees for items such as uniforms, transportation, late pick up fees, academies, some after school programmes, examinations and the BTEC programme.

School tuition fees are reviewed annually. School tuition fees may be increased in order to accommodate the school’s ongoing development of programmes and external factors such as inflation and the general economy. In the event that the school fees are increased by up to 5% per annum, parents will be informed by the end of Term 2. In the event that the school fees are increased by more than 5% per annum, parents will be informed one full academic year in advance.
