Fees

For students joining us in year 7, 8, 9 or 10, the fee per term for 2011-2012 is £5,842. This includes lunch and personal accident insurance but excludes textbooks (which we charge at face value) and other extras. For students joining us in year 12, the termly fee for 2011-2012 including lunch and insurance is £6,280. Music lessons, extra sports coaching and life drawing classes are charged extra. Fees are paid by direct debit either before the first day of term or under our termly instalment scheme. Under this scheme we are able to allow payment of a particular term's fees to be made by three direct debit instalments during that term.

Deposit

There's a non-refundable registration fee of £125 when you apply for a place, unless you're only applying for a bursary place. When you accept a place, we ask for a deposit of half the current termly fee. We'll credit this without interest against the final bill. If one or more of the people responsible for paying the fees is resident outside the UK, we ask for a 100 per cent deposit of the current termly fee. If a girl doesn't take up her accepted place at the school we can't return the deposit and we'll usually charge a term's fee to make up for the lack of notice. 

Notice

We need a term's notice if a girl is going to leave the school or stop one of her music, sports or art extras. If we don't receive a term's notice, we'll charge a full term's fees instead.
