School Fees

Our Prep School Fees are divided into three equal parts and are payable in advance per term (or part of a term if the child is coming to us after commencement).

For more information on our scholarships and bursaries, as well as our discounts for serving personnel in the Armed Forces, please click here.

We also offer a sibling fee discount of 5% for the second child and 10% for the third and subsequent children.
