English support for boarding pupils
The college assesses English proficiency during entrance testing. Its ESOL team tests pupils again at the start of term to determine the support each pupil needs. ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) lessons carry no additional charge for boarders. The amount of support depends on individual needs; no fixed weekly lesson length or group size is promised.

The Nest nursery attendance patterns, 2026/27
| The Nest: five full days | £5,004 |
|---|---|
| The Nest: four full days | £4,504 |
| The Nest: three full days | £3,753 |
| The Nest: five mornings | £3,973 |
Separate nursery attendance patterns, effective 1 September 2026. The school publishes these under School Fees 2026–2027, inclusive of VAT; a separate nursery tuition VAT rate is not stated. These are termly quotes and have not been annualised. Limited FEEE places for three- and four-year-olds provide up to 15 funded hours weekly, available from 12:00–15:00 each afternoon in The Nest. The College does not offer the extended 30 hours but permits splitting FEEE with another provider. Funding is conditional, not a universal deduction from these figures.

Application payment and held deposit, 2026/27
| Application fee: The Nest, UK, Year 9 pre-testers or overseas | £200 |
|---|---|
| Additional deposit: each published entry category | £1,000 |
The application-fee column states VAT inclusive. The additional £1,000 deposit is shown separately and held until the pupil leaves; the page does not promise an unconditional refund, so no refund guarantee is inferred. The Nest acceptance fee and deposit explicitly do not have VAT applied. The page does not say whether VAT is included of every other deposit category. These figures are not annual tuition and must not be double-counted with first-term credits.

Acceptance payments credited in the first term, 2026/27
| The Nest: acceptance payment credited in first term | £1,500 |
|---|---|
| UK category: acceptance payment credited in first term | £1,800 |
| Year 9 pre-testers: acceptance payment credited in first term | £3,000 |
These are upfront acceptance payments with equal first-term credits, not additional non-refundable tuition. The acceptance column is labelled VAT inclusive, with the explicit exception that The Nest acceptance fee has no VAT applied. The UK entry category requires parents with UK settled status and a pupil ordinarily resident in the UK at acceptance. Year 9 pre-testers are a separately published category. Overseas acceptance is one term’s fee, with the same first-term credit, and is not replaced by a guessed fixed amount. The additional held deposit is separate.

Senior flexi boarding, 2026/27
| Senior Years 9–13: flexi boarding | £110 |
|---|
The Senior School table distinguishes £110 per night for flexi boarding from its termly day, weekly and full-boarding rates. It appears under the school-fee heading effective 1 September 2026 inclusive of VAT. No annual total or assumption about a family’s number of nights is made; confirm availability and the applicable invoice with the College.

College laptop rental, 2026/27
| All pupils Year 5–Upper Sixth: College-managed Lenovo laptop | £136.8 |
|---|
The fee page says all pupils in Year 5 to Upper Sixth are provided with a College-managed Lenovo laptop and a £136.8 rental charge per term is additional to the termly school fee. The charge covers the device, software and licensing, security and safeguarding, filtering, support, maintenance and a replacement device if required. Ask whether the laptop charge includes VAT; it is quoted per term.

Optional lessons, instrument hire and day-pupil English support, 2026/27
| Music lessons: quoted amount before conditional College-billed VAT | £286 |
|---|---|
| Musical instrument hire: quoted amount | £68.5 |
| LAMDA group lessons: quoted amount before conditional College-billed VAT | £240 |
| LAMDA individual lessons: quoted amount before conditional College-billed VAT | £323 |
| EAL/ESOL for day pupils: quoted amount | £582 |
Separate from core tuition and charged where the service is taken. Music and LAMDA are marked with an asterisk: an additional 20% VAT is charged if billed by the College. Those marked figures remain the published amounts before that conditional addition; no unconfirmed provider arrangement is assumed. Ask the school whether VAT is included for instrument hire or day-pupil EAL/ESOL. No fixed lesson count or duration is stated.

Guardian arrangements and checking costs
Guardian costs depend on whom the family appoints. The college recommends an AEGIS-accredited educational guardian and says it does not need to run an additional background check in that case. If a family appoints a relative or family friend, the college requires a DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) background check, which incurs the fee published by the school. Confirm the applicable charge and arrangements for the intended start date with admissions.

What the boarding fee includes and what is extra
The 2026/27 fee page lists separate senior weekly boarding, UK full boarding and overseas full boarding rates; the main table retains all three categories. Accommodation and laundry for boarders, EAL/ESOL for international boarders, lunches, stationery and textbooks are included. External examination charges are added individually to the term in which an examination is taken; the page publishes no single examination total. The upfront overseas acceptance payment is one term’s fee and is credited in the first term. The overseas entry-payment category depends on parents residing overseas or lacking settled status, and the pupil’s ordinary-residence position at acceptance. Confirm the applicable boarding and acceptance categories with admissions; an overseas acceptance payment is not a second term of tuition.
