Fees and the first-year budget
The school’s 2026/27 table quotes paid boarding separately from government-funded education for eligible pupils. Full-boarding annual prices and their alternative termly quotations are published directly, so no annual multiplication is needed. A £3,000 acceptance deposit is separate. Additional one-off charges apply to pupils joining from overseas, but no amount is given on the fee page. Confirm eligibility and the complete individual offer before comparing costs.

Boarding fee payment options
The published options are the annual fee in advance before 1 September, termly payment before the first school day of each term, or ten equal standing-order instalments from 1 September to 1 June. These payment plans divide the same boarding charge. The school reviews fees annually in December; the current Sixth Form tariff is specifically described as fixed for two years.

Fee eligibility and additional family costs
State-school eligibility and grammar-school entry requirements apply independently of payment. Overseas families should confirm the applicable eligibility category and UK guardian arrangements with the school; guardianship charges are not quoted in the school’s boarding tariff. The boarding accommodation closes during exeat weekends, half-term and school holidays, when pupils return to families, guardians or other nominated people.

CEA and fee reductions
For Armed Forces families qualifying for Continuity of Education Allowance, the school states a parental contribution of 8% of boarding fees. This is a conditional service-family arrangement, not the standard boarding tariff. The school says that as a state school it cannot offer sibling discounts, scholarships or bursaries.
