English-language school fees in Limassol 2026/27: tuition and joining costs by year group

Published 30 October 2026 · Updated 30 October 2026 · AI-assisted SchoolMatch Europe editorial · Sources and approach

Foley’s School and The Heritage Private School publish the same annual tuition for Year 1 and Year 3 in 2026/27. By Year 5, their price bands differ. Comparing the named year group, then separating tuition from deposits and purchases, gives a more useful starting point than comparing each school’s lowest advertised fee.

This guide covers primary-school examples at these two English-language schools in Limassol. Foley’s figures come from a saved copy of its official 2026/27 schedule checked on 15 September 2026 and re-read on 30 October. Its website could not be reached on 30 October, so confirm the current invoice before committing. Heritage’s primary schedule was checked on 28 October 2026, and its admissions page still linked to it on 30 October.

Compare the same year group

Foley’s groups Years 1–2 together, Years 3–5 together, and Year 6 separately. Heritage groups Years 1–2, Years 3–4 and Years 5–6. A Year 3 comparison therefore looks identical, while a Year 5 pupil falls into different bands. The table uses each school’s published annual column; it does not multiply a term or semester price.

These are the year-group names on the schools’ own schedules. A child moving from another education system should have placement confirmed by admissions, rather than matching an age or grade label independently.

What must a new family pay to join?

Foley’s primary schedule lists a €1,800 registration deposit, payable once at initial enrolment. It can be refunded when the pupil leaves only if written notice arrives by the last weekday in February, the child completes the school year and no fees remain outstanding. It belongs in the family’s cash planning, but treating it as an automatically lost charge would misstate the policy.

Heritage lists a €1,200 deposit and a separate €320 non-refundable initial enrolment fee. Both must be paid by the administration office’s deadline to hold the place. The deposit has its own conditions: a current pupil’s withdrawal requires a full academic semester’s written notice and a cleared account; otherwise it is returned on completion of studies.

Heritage also lists an annual €320 re-enrolment and development fee. Do not automatically add that to the initial enrolment charge for a new pupil: ask the school which entry applies to the first invoice. Neither deposit should be confused with an advance payment credited against tuition; the schedules do not describe it that way.

Books, uniform and equipment change the budget

Foley’s primary schedule estimates uniform at €300–450. Books and stationery are €250–350 for Infants, €400–450 for Juniors and €650 for Prep. These are the school’s indicative estimates, subject to provider prices and the items required. Most extracurricular activities and most school-day trips are described as free; the document separately identifies optional activities and excludes external examinations, competitions and trips abroad from the quoted fees.

Heritage’s primary tuition includes local trips within Cyprus, including transport and entrance charges. Its separate annual estimates list books at €150–200, uniform at €350 and stationery at €150, with quantities affecting the latter purchases. For Year 2 and above, the family must also buy an iPad meeting the school’s specification. No device price is supplied, so a Year 3 or Year 5 budget remains incomplete without that quotation.

Transport, lunch, extended-day care, clubs and additional lessons can add further charges where used. Heritage’s primary support page also identifies an extra fee for ESL support when teacher assessment shows it is needed. Ask for the child’s actual support plan and price. The schedules do not establish the VAT treatment of every item; no VAT adjustment has been added to these published amounts.

Check the payment timetable before accepting

At Foley’s, the accounts department decides whether payment is annual or termly. Its primary terms distinguish Cypriots and long-term property-owning Cyprus residents from other families, who are asked to pay annually in advance. An annual invoice is due by the end of the first week of September. Termly arrangements use September, January and April deadlines. The school requires a complete school-year commitment and states that tuition is non-refundable and non-transferable.

Heritage publishes both semester and annual figures and requires payment in advance. Its terms require the year’s tuition in full, irrespective of admission or withdrawal during a semester. Obtain a written payment schedule for the intended start date; an annual comparison does not mean both schools require the same cash on the same day.

Applying for September 2027?

Heritage’s admissions page is already headed 2027–28. The fee PDFs compared here are explicitly for 2026/27. They are useful for planning, but they do not confirm next year’s price or a place. Request the correct entry-year tariff and a breakdown showing tuition, non-refundable charges, refundable deposits, required equipment and optional services before accepting an offer.

Continue with the Foley’s School profile and the Heritage Private School profile, then confirm the quotation directly with the school.
