Nursery Fees

Please see the website, including the separate fee breakdown for the Nursery which includes the price structure based on the 15 hour free Early Years Grant or 30 hour Nursery Grant provision eligibility.

Little Gems - There are two Little Gems fee options. The first enables you to reserve your child a place for five sessions of the week (although you may decide they do not attend all five sessions, especially at the start of the year). There is also a set fee for three full days, and full time if there is space. If your child is 3 they may also qualify for the 30 hours childcare, please ask for more details.

Kindergarten - The Kindergarten fee allows you to send your child for as many of the ten sessions in the week as you would like. A place is always reserved for your child. We ask parents to let us know if there is a session (or sessions) in a week that they definitely will not regularly require, but should you need this session at a later date in the year you will still be free to use it. The fee underlined is the estimated charge per term based on the current 30 hour childcare amount deducted from your fees. For more details please contact the School Office.

Year 5 & 6 Fees

The additional charge for Years 5 and 6 reflect the extra teacher we are able to offer in these classes. This is to further ensure individual attention and support for every child and in preparation for Senior School and including the Independent Schools Exams.

The Year 6 children will receive their extra support from September until the end of the exams.

The Year 5 children will receive the support from the start of ‘Spring 2’ half-term until the end of the academic year. The excellent exam results we have had since we introduced this structure certainly indicate the success of this additional support.
