Language and learning support
In Prep and Junior (Years 1–7), learning support is mainly provided through group work. Senior pupils (Years 8–13) have individual support plans reviewed each term. Support ranges from classroom adjustments to sessions with the Support for Learning team, typically once or twice a week, with provision considered individually. The school confirmed that Support for Learning and EAL do not carry an additional charge.

Campus and daily life
The school occupies a 70-acre campus in Dollar, Scotland. Boarding eligibility and availability should be checked for the child’s age. Confirm the exact teaching location for the chosen year group.

Boarding weekends and school holidays
The school confirmed on 17 October 2026 that it has no exeat weekends, but boarding houses close during school holidays. Its usual pattern includes two weeks in October, three over Christmas and New Year, one in February and around two and a half at Easter. There is no May midterm break; the school year finishes at the end of June. Families should use the current school calendar to plan exact travel dates and accommodation during closures.

Meals, extras and withdrawal notice
The current booklet describes separate ParentPay accounts for lunches, trips and activities; lunch credit must be topped up before buying food. Additional co-curricular costs and spending incurred by boarders are charged separately. A full term’s written notice of withdrawal is required; where the contractual notice is missing, one term’s fees in lieu are charged. An unexpected withdrawal before the end of a term does not generate a fee refund for that term. No complete family-specific budget is implied by the tuition table.

Sibling and qualifying-family remissions
The 2026/27 booklet gives a 25% tuition remission for the third and subsequent children attending concurrently where the family first applied after 23 November 2016; the tuition element alone is reduced for boarders. If siblings enter out of age order, the remission applies to the youngest children. It also describes a 20% tuition remission for qualifying full-time HM Forces day-pupil families and a 20% boarding-element remission for qualifying Foreign & Commonwealth Office or British Council families. Only one form of remission may apply at a time; these conditions do not make a universal discounted fee.

Prep and Junior boarding packages
| Prep full boarding including tuition | £44,154 |
|---|---|
| Prep weekly boarding including tuition | £41,436 |
| Junior full boarding including tuition | £46,539 |
| Junior weekly boarding including tuition | £43,821 |
The current school fee page and its 2026/27 payment booklet directly quote these whole-academic-year packages, including VAT. They include tuition; do not add the day tuition again. Boarding applications are accepted from age ten, so the published Prep package is not evidence of boarding availability throughout the Prep age range.

| Registration, per child — non-refundable | £90 |
|---|---|
| Day-pupil acceptance deposit — returnable | £500 |
| Boarder acceptance deposit — returnable | £1,500 |
The registration payment is non-refundable. The school describes the acceptance deposits as returnable; they are not annual tuition or an additional non-refundable fee. Ask whether VAT applies to these specific payments. No full first-year total is calculated.

Activity-specific supplementary charges
| Piping and drumming tuition — per term | £350 |
|---|---|
| Shooting tuition — per term | £100 |

Paying the annual fee
The 2026/27 payment booklet confirms that the published tuition and boarding fees cover the whole academic year and include VAT. Families may pay for the full academic year, pay in full for each term, or use UK-bank-account direct debit with three instalments per term. The published bank-transfer deadlines are 20 August 2026 for autumn or the full session, 6 January 2027 for spring and 13 April 2027 for summer. The direct-debit collection dates are 9 September, 9 October and 9 November 2026; 13 January, 9 February and 9 March 2027; and 9 April, 10 May and 9 June 2027. Each direct debit is one third of the termly tuition/boarding fee. These are alternative payment arrangements, not extra tuition.
