Included in Total School Fees for International Boarding

The International Boarding fee, which applies to all girls who are normally resident outside the European Economic Area, includes the cost of escorted travel to and from selected airports and railway stations at the start and end of each Term, provided journeys are made on the date designated by the School for travel and on specified journeys by prior arrangement with Boarding Administration. It also includes the option for girls to remain in School at no extra charge during Exeat weekends.

Parents are reminded of the requirements regarding notice in writing which are detailed in the School’s Terms & Conditions of Acceptance.

Armed Forces Discount

We provide a fee discount to the daughters of military families who receive Continuity of Education Allowance (CEA) funding, which caps the full boarding/tuition fees so that the parental contribution remains 10% of the total fee payable.
