For 2026/27 the booklet includes tuition with books/materials and compulsory academic trips, meals, the appropriate regular boarding arrangement, a College laptop, a range of Junior Prep after-school activities, basic Combined Cadet Force charges, personal accident cover and school-travel insurance.

When payments are due
The 2026/27 booklet says termly fees, including regular boarding, are charged in advance and due on the first day of term. One Direct Debit option collects ten equal instalments from around 28 July to 28 April, followed by a 28 May balancing payment for extras, with no charge for that arrangement. The separate external School Fee Plan collects twelve monthly payments from around 1 August to July and states a 3.56% charge. These are alternative payment plans, not fee-period conversions. Non-personal credit cards and international debit cards may incur a surcharge; no amount is specified.

Sibling discounts and voluntary giving
For two, three or four siblings from the same immediate family attending together, the 2026/27 booklet states discounts of 2.5%, 7.5% or 12.5% on all those siblings’ basic fees. Eligibility must be confirmed. The suggested Endowment Fund donation is £50 per term per family, included on the first bill but explicitly voluntary; parents may opt out by writing to Finance. It is not a mandatory school charge.

Insurance options and Reception arrangements
Pupil-absence insurance is optional and the 2026/27 booklet quotes 0.65% per term; it does not state the calculation base in this table, so no cash amount is derived. Private healthcare and Prep personal-effects insurance are optional; Senior personal-effects cover is included. Confirm cover terms and eligibility with the provider. The current tuition table lists full-day Reception; ask the school to confirm any part-day Reception arrangement and its applicable charge separately.
