Fees
Following confirmation of the government change to legislation which requires us to add VAT to tuition fees from 1 January 2025, the fees below will apply for the Spring and Summer term of the 2024/25 academic year. Warwick Schools Foundation has been able to put in place a discount on the base fee in order to cushion the introduction of this policy for parents, so that after VAT has been added to the fee, the net increase to parents is partially mitigated. These new fees, together with the discount and VAT, are shown below. Please note that the discount is only applicable to fees which incur the 20% VAT charge.
Fees for the Academic Year 2024/25 from 1 January 2025
Admissions Fees
Registration Fee
A non-refundable registration fee of £120 (£100 plus 20% VAT) or for boarding applicants £210 (£175 plus 20% VAT) for boarding applicants) is required upon registration. This is payable by bank transfer (please use your child's name as reference).
Acceptance Deposit
A non-refundable deposit of £500 is payable on request as confirmation of acceptance of the place. This will be refunded (less any outstanding charges) after the pupil's final term in the school.
For boarding places, an additional refundable deposit of one term's boarding fees is payable upon acceptance. For more details about the Acceptance Deposit and any additional deposits and how they are credited, please refer to Section 3 of the Foundation's Terms and Conditions.
The deposit is currently exempt from VAT.
Please note that should you wish to withdraw your child’s place post acceptance, then a full term's notice will need to be provided to avoid Fees in Lieu.

Payment of Fees
School fees are billed termly and payment is due no later than the first day of each term. We prefer payment by termly direct debit - in order to set this up, please download a copy of the school’s direct debit form and send the completed copy to billing@warwickschools.co.uk.
Alternatively, parents can choose to spread the cost of their fees by paying in 12 monthly instalments, via Warwick Schools Foundation’s third party partner School Fee Plan. For more information please click here. Eligibility for this scheme requires a credit check and an application, and more details on how to apply, plus costs, can be found on their website. Click here to access our page on the School Fee Plan website.
Fees in Advance Scheme
The Fees in Advance Scheme is available to parents of all pupils at Warwick Schools Foundation schools who wish to make payments towards future terms’ fees upfront at a discounted rate.
Under the Scheme, a lump sum payment is made to cover future fees, either in advance of entry to the School, or at any time after joining the School. You can choose the number of terms’ fees you wish to cover (between three and twenty one terms).
The Scheme will come into force for Autumn Term 2024 and to be eligible as an advance payment for that term, we need to have received payment by 5th July 2024. Thereafter, fees will need to be payable by the end of the preceding term to be considered ‘in advance’.
If you are interested in making a payment under this Scheme, please email feesinadvance@warwickschools.co.uk
The full conditions of the scheme can be found below, along with a table to give parents an illustrative example of savings that could be made under the scheme, and a calculator to work out the total fees payable dependent on number of terms to be pre-paid.

Withdrawal
In accordance with section 9 of the parent contract, parents wishing to withdraw a pupil for any reason must give a full term's written notice to the Head or Foundation Bursar on the Head’s behalf, otherwise a full term's tuition fees are payable. A term's written notice means notice in writing given before the first day of a term and expiring at the end of that term. Written notice applies to all activities including additional lessons such as music and LAMDA.
