Registration payment

|---|---|
| Part credited against the first term’s fees | £500 |
| Remaining balance held without interest | £1,500 |
These rows describe one £2,000 payment: do not add the components again. £500 is credited against tuition already payable; £1,500 remains held and is returned when the final account is settled. The deposit’s Ask the school whether VAT is included.

Retained part of the boarding deposit
| Amount held without interest until the final account is settled | £5,000 |
|---|
The complete boarding deposit equals one full term’s fees for the pupil’s actual arrangement. £5,000 is the retained component; the remainder is offset against the first term’s fees. Do not add £5,000 to the full deposit or treat it as the full cash requirement.

Music tuition where taken
| Form 1 to Upper 6, Years 3–13 — music tuition | £409 |

Three-term annual calculation
The school's calendar lists Autumn 2026, Spring 2027 and Summer 2027. Annual day tuition shown above is a calculation from the official per-term day fees, not an annual price quoted by the school. The fee table preserves the original termly day and boarding tariffs.

Acceptance deposits and tuition credits
A day-pupil acceptance deposit is £2,000. The current fee page says £500 is offset against the first term’s fees and £1,500 is held without interest, then returned when the final account is settled. For boarders the deposit is one full term’s fees: £5,000 is held without interest until the final account is settled and the remainder is offset against the first term’s fees. The credit is part of tuition payment, not a second joining fee. Obtain the exact boarding arrangement and deposit figure in the offer letter.

Leaving credits and the offer contract
The Admissions Policy currently linked on the school’s policies page is dated 19 September 2025. Its registration-and-acceptance section says boarding deposit balances are repaid as a credit without interest, less amounts owing, on leaving; it also describes day deposits as leaving credits in general terms. The current fee page gives the more specific day-pupil split of £500 against the first term and £1,500 retained. Confirm the individual offer and accompanying Terms and Conditions rather than assuming the full deposit will be returned as an immediate cash refund. The policy says those Terms and Conditions accompany an offer; they were not established by the fee table itself.

Extras and their billing units
The school says educational trips, public examination entries, transport and optional extras are added to the relevant term’s invoice. The music table separately prints instrument hire at £55 including VAT, but its hire column does not state a billing period; confirm that unit before budgeting. Lunch has its own termly Form-based bands, while EAL is hourly, speech and drama is per session and ad hoc boarding is per night plus VAT. The current calendar still lists Autumn 2026, Spring 2027 and Summer 2027; the existing annual day figures remain explicitly identified as earlier three-term calculations, not annual prices quoted by the school. No new annual amount is calculated in this review.
