Fees

From September 2023

All fees are inclusive and there are no compulsory extras.  All fees are normally reviewed annually to take effect from the Autumn Term.

A discount is available to parents with more than one child in the School from Year 1 upwards.  The terms and conditions are as follows:

7.5% discount off the second child’s fees whilst both attend Year 1 and upwards.
15% discount off the third child’s fees whilst all three attend Year 1 and upwards.

Further assistance with fees may also be available.

Individual Music Lessons

The termly fee of £202 for individual music lessons is payable in advance.  Each tutor will invoice the parents of pupils directly.

Individual Lessons in the Learning Support Centre

These are arranged as needed, following discussions between parents and the Learning Support Administrator. The termly fee is added as an extra to termly invoices at the end of each term.

Extra Activities

Certain activities and hobbies carry a small charge because they involve outside tutors or incur material costs.  Details are sent to parents in advance.

School Bus

School buses operate from the School to Poole, Ringwood and Verwood, Blandford, Wareham, Penn Hill, Glenferness Avenue and Dorchester. The cost of the service is charged at £60.00 per journey per term at the end of each term. For further information please contact the Academic Administrator on 01202 847935.

After School Club

There is an after school club for Nursery and Pre-Prep children which runs until 5.30pm at a charge of £6.05 per hour or part thereof. Children can be picked up at any time during this period. Details will be sent home at the start of term.
