In the Senior School, the Learning Support Department supports pupils in Years 7–13 who can access the academic curriculum but need additional help. It describes support for dyslexia, ADHD and autism spectrum conditions, study skills, organisation and eligible exam access arrangements. The separate EAL team supports pupils whose first language is not English, individually or in small groups in Years 7–11 and with an IELTS-focused course in Year 12. The College says EAL support is included in normal fees; individual learning-support arrangements should be confirmed with the school.

Registration by examination location
| Candidate sitting entrance examinations in the UK | £200 |
|---|---|
| Candidate sitting entrance examinations overseas | £440 |
These current registration quotations apply to the College route described as Years 3–12, not the separate DUCKS registration tariff. Additional overseas testing costs are paid by the candidate. The fee is waived for a pupil receiving Pupil Premium with the required supporting evidence. The registration subsection does not give a separate academic year or say whether VAT is included.

Acceptance deposits by attendance category
| Day pupil | £2,500 |
|---|---|
| Boarder | £5,000 |
The source expressly dates these deposits to entry in 2026/27. They are held until the pupil leaves and are refunded less any balance due. They are separate from tuition; first-term prepayments described in the payment conditions are credited against the first invoice rather than charged a second time. No separate VAT rate is assigned to the deposit in this subsection.

Child Student or Student Visa compliance
| Pupil requiring the College to act as visa sponsor | £200 |
|---|
The page calls this an annual visa-compliance charge but gives its quotation as £200 plus VAT per term; no annual sum is inferred. It covers ongoing compliance, monitoring and CAS issuance. Sponsorship is available for boarders entering Years 9–12; the College does not sponsor day pupils. The applicable VAT rate and gross total are not calculated here.

Deposits and first-term advance payments
For 2026/27 boarders, the school requires the acceptance deposit and one full term of boarding and tuition in advance; the termly prepayment is credited to the first fee invoice. Day-pupil parents outside the UK when signing, or supplying an address outside the UK on the acceptance form, also prepay a full term’s tuition in addition to their deposit. These are cash-flow requirements, not a reason to add the same first term twice.

Payment timing, credit and withdrawal
Fees are payable by direct debit on the first working day before the relevant term starts. The published late-payment surcharge is 1%, billed a term in arrears. Overseas parents without a UK bank or building-society account may use bank transfer after the required certification. Monthly credit through School Fee Plan is available only to applicants over 18 and is subject to status, affordability and provider terms. Withdrawal requires a full term’s written notice to the Master or a term’s fees instead.
