2026/27 learning support and EAL charges
The 2026/27 schedule lists individual and group learning support by assessed need, charged separately, and EAL tuition at £1,000 per term for Years 9–11 or £850 per term for Years 12–13. Families should ask which provision is recommended and which extra costs apply; the fee schedule alone does not guarantee a place or support package.

Campus and daily arrangements
The College serves day and boarding pupils aged 13–18. Main entry points are Year 9 at 13 and Year 12 at 16. Admissions considers the pupil’s academic fit and character as well as available places. Arrange a discussion about the intended stage before making relocation plans.

Registration and entrance charges
| Registration fee, non-refundable | £190 |
|---|---|
| Entrance fee, charged on first-term invoice | £81 |
The schedule effective from August 2026 distinguishes a non-refundable registration charge from the single entrance fee covering immediate administrative costs. Ask whether VAT is included in these two quoted prices.

Guaranteed Place deposits
| UK deposit | £2,000 |
|---|---|
| Overseas deposit | £20,000 |
Return of the signed Guaranteed Place Form and the relevant deposit accepts an offer. The deposit is security, refundable when the pupil leaves if all financial commitments are met and one full term’s notice is given. A St Andrew’s Prep deposit is carried forward, so only the incremental top-up is due. The schedule does not separately assign VAT to these deposits; they are not tuition.

Individual learning support

Provision is determined by individual need and consultation. The quoted amounts are per session, not a flat termly package. The schedule also quotes £20–40 for a 50-minute group session depending on group size; do not add the whole range to an individual session charge. Ask the school whether VAT is included for this support subsection.

Instrument lessons

Included provision and additional pupil costs
The schedule effective from August 2026 says fees cover tuition, accommodation where applicable, pastoral and medical care, and up to three daily meals according to the type of place held, plus a broad range of activities and sports facilities. Public examination charges for Years 11 and 13 are paid in advance on the summer-term invoice; uniform and sports kit are paid when purchased, and day-pupil buses when booked. Selected co-curricular activities are billed separately in arrears and are subject to VAT.

Budget for the chosen activities
Other listed extras include café and shop purchases, school trips, a small house subscription, house social events and occasional boarding-house overnight stays for day pupils. These charges depend on use or the pupil’s arrangements; the schedule gives no numerical tariff for them, so they are not included in a calculated total.

Use the fee column that applies to the family
The College’s 2026/27 website directs new families to the termly VAT-inclusive column. Existing families who paid into the fees-in-advance scheme before 29 July 2024 have a distinct exempt route. For other families, the website describes a 5% reduction of the net fee when calculating the VAT-inclusive quotation. Use the published gross amounts for new entrants; applying 20% again to that column would double-count VAT. The eight existing main-table quotations match the current website and PDF.
