Fees

Investing in the future

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 Junior School, Senior School and Sixth Form, to ensure you receive the very best value for money.

Fee discounts

Junior School - 5% Sibling Discount

If two or more siblings are in Junior School at the same time a 5% discount is applied to the fees paid for the younger sibling(s). This discount ends when only one sibling is left in Junior School, as older siblings join Senior School.

Sixth Form 15% Loyalty Discount

St Mary's Year 10 students who stay on to join our Sixth Form receive 15% off Year 12 and Year 13 fees.

Fee payment flexibility

Choose to pay fees monthly through the School Fee Plan* or as three termly installments per year.
