Discuss the child’s language background and any existing support plan before applying. Ask what help is available in lessons, how progress is reviewed and whether it carries an extra charge.

Verified IB teaching language
The International Baccalaureate school register identifies English as the language of instruction for this school’s IB programme.

Senior fees and the first-year budget
The 2026/27 Senior fee guide directly lists £40,665 a year for Day Only (no bed), £48,585 for Day with Bed and £59,250 for boarding (the boarding row is labelled Years 9–12). The matching termly rates are £13,555, £16,195 and £19,750. The school’s current fees page confirms VAT is included in these school fees. Day with Bed allocates a bed, but each overnight stay costs another £74.53. All pupils are also charged £100 per term for an iPad package. Prep and nursery have separate tariffs.
Source ↗ · checked
Application charges and deposits
The 2026/27 guide requires a non-refundable £300 registration fee for applicants to Years 9–12. The £2,200 acceptance deposit is credited in two parts: £1,000 to the first term’s fees and £1,200 to the final leaver’s bill at the end of the final Summer Term. Parents resident outside the UK also pay a one-term fee deposit, credited to the final Summer Term bill. These credits should not be added a second time to tuition. If the pupil withdraws or does not take up the accepted place, the acceptance deposit is non-refundable.

Charges outside the main school fee
The mandatory iPad package costs £100 per term and includes a keyboard, cover, stylus and AppleCare; loss and non-accidental damage are excluded from that cover. Pupils requiring a Child Student Visa are charged a £600 compliance fee; the guide does not specify a repeat billing period. Optional individual music tuition costs £397.50 per term per instrument, with sheet music and instrument hire charged separately. Agreed one-to-one EAL, maths or learning-support tuition costs £56.60 for a 30-minute lesson; the guide also lists group-lesson rates of £34.60 for two pupils and £25.15 for three pupils. External examination fees, some examination arrangements, subject materials, books, stationery and optional trips can be extra. The main fee’s VAT statement should not be treated as a separate VAT ruling on every incidental charge.
Source ↗ · checked
Payment dates and notice
Fees are payable seven days before each term by Direct Debit or bank transfer. Planned 2026/27 payment dates in the guide are 31 August 2026, 28 December 2026 and 12 April 2027. Parents bear bank charges so the school receives the full amount. A full term’s written notice is required when withdrawing a pupil. The school offers an advance-payment scheme, but its discount is not quantified in the guide.

How the comparable Senior tariff changed
The school’s official 2025/26 Senior guide and 2026/27 guide publish the same three fee categories with annual totals. The separate comparison below uses those school tariffs, both VAT inclusive; it is not a record of earlier SchoolMatch publication. It compares the stated school fee only, without adding iPad charges, deposits or optional extras. Calculated increases from those two published annual tariffs: Senior day only (no bed): £3,003 (7.97%); Senior day with bed (overnights extra): £2,235 (4.82%); Senior boarding (Years 9–12): £2,727 (4.82%). The separate iPad charge is £100 per term in both guides. These percentages compare the school fee only and are not changes in a complete household budget.
