Important Information for 2012-13 applicants: 
We are currently sharing with you the fee structure for 2011-12. The fees are reviewed on an annual basis and all changes are approved by the Board of Governors. While the Nursery has a consolidated term-wise fee structure and a PSO (Parent School Organisation) membership fee only, the fees for Reception to Year 13 include other components such as development fees and refundable deposits. Since Nursery will become the point of entry into the school from August 2012, please note that the fee structure for Nursery for 2012-13 will also include development fees and refundable deposits, the same as in the current Reception to Year 6 fee structure.

The fee structure for the next academic year, which is August 2012 – May 2013 is likely to be announced in June 2012, once the Board of Governors approves the same.
