One year before entry, parents will be asked to pay a deposit which ranges from £500 (for a nursery place) to £11,000 (for a boarding place for children whose parents are not resident in the UK). Receipt of a deposit secures the place for your child. Deposits are held until a child leaves the school and are credited to the final bill.
