Fees

Fees are payable termly in advance, together with any recharges for additional costs, where applicable, from the preceding term. Our fees include all books and materials, lunch and most after school clubs run by the school. Parents will be advised in advance of any costs of clubs run by external providers, extra-curricular activities or school trips. Music tuition is charged separately, either by the school or direct by the peripatetic music teacher.

Our preferred method of fee payment is by Direct Debit and we offer a Direct Debit Instalment Scheme. Please note that there is no remission of fees for absence through illness.

Fees shown are inclusive of VAT.

pupil absence Insurance – Information and application form

Please note:

There is a one-off non-refundable fee of £90 to register your interest in a place for your child. When the offer of a place is made, a deposit of £250 is required to secure that place. This is held by the school and is refunded, less any outstanding charges, on the final account when the child leaves the school. If the child is moving up to Lancing College, it is set against the deposit required by the College.

Failure to take up an accepted place will result in forfeiture of the deposit and requires a full term’s notice in writing or payment of a full term’s fees in lieu of such notice.

In the event of withdrawal of a pupil from the school, a full term’s notice in writing must be given or payment of a full term’s fees in lieu of such notice.
