*Day Girls usually live close to the School so they can fully participate in all the activities the School has to offer.  Day girls are provided space to study and store their personal effects but no bed is available.

**Day Boarding fees guarantees a specific allocated bed, which will be available every night of term - an additional charge of £66 will be payable per night. If a girl regularly stays at school for four nights or more per week, it is recommended parents choose the full boarding option.      

Charges for extras and activities can be found here.

Registration Fee and Deposit

The registration fee is £300 (inc. VAT) and a deposit of £2,000 is payable by all parents on acceptance of a place.  International (non-resident) families are required to pay a full term's fees as deposit, plus an additional £500 fee for student visa administration.

The registration fee is non-refundable.  The deposit is credited to the pupil’s final account and is refundable if we are unable to offer the candidate a place. Please refer to our terms and conditions, provided at offer stage, for information about deposit refunds.

Exeats

We offer accommodation over Exeats at our Newell Grange campus for families whose daughters are unable to go home over the weekend. This is charged at £250 + VAT per Exeat and includes accommodation, meals and scheduled activities. The charge will be added to the next school bill.


Financial Support

Bursary awards are made on the basis of an assessment of a family's financial circumstances, including their savings, investments and realisable assets, as well as their income, the size of their family, any other persons dependent upon them and other relevant factors. Awards are subject to annual review of parental financial circumstances.

Bursaries may be awarded in conjunction with Scholarships and Exhibitions.

Parents/guardians are invited to complete an application for means-tested bursarial support via a secure portal, administered by Bursary Assessment Associates, in the Michaelmas term for the following academic year.
