Fees

The right education is the best start in life your daughter could wish for. We appreciate the investment you are making in her future.

Our competitive fees balance excellence with affordability, across our Preschool, Junior School, Senior School and Sixth Form, to ensure you receive the very best value for money.

Fee discounts

• 5% Sibling Discount in Preschool and Junior School: If you have more than one child attending our Preschool or Junior School the youngest sibling(s) will receive a 5% reduction on their fees**

2020/2021 Fees

These fees apply from January 2021.

Please note:

• Workplace childcare vouchers: We accept this form of payment towards after school provision.
• *Preschool funded with Universal Entitlement: We offer universal entitlement of up to 15 hours per week. This is an entitlement to funded childcare for parents of children aged 3 and 4 and these hours are paid for by Cambridgeshire County Council, subject to parents meeting the eligibility criteria and prompt receipt of the necessary paperwork. Universal entitlement can be used for our afternoon sessions, Monday to Friday, 12.30-3.30. These hours must be fixed in advance on a termly basis. If you wish for your daughter to attend additional afternoon session(s) once term has begun, you will be charged for this at our normal half-day rate. Universal entitlement is only available in the Preschool class. Once your daughter joins Reception, the funding is no longer available, even if she is still 4 years old. For more information, please contact our Admissions team.
