Fees and Finance

Fees at Prior Park College cover many of the costs associated with providing a full educational and pastoral experience.  Fees and additional charges, including VAT where relevant are shown below.

2025/26 Academic Year	Annual Fee
Day - Years 7-8	£22,415
Day - Years 9-13	£24,315
Full Boarding	£48,685
Weekly Boarding	£37,765

 

Fee Notes:

• The fee billing profile is 40/30/30 and fees are due and payable on or before the first day of each term.
• Day fee includes full lunch, many after school activities and supervised prep.
• The Full Boarding rate includes: meals; transport from the airport at the beginning and end of each term (as long as your child joins the organised transport provided); weekend boarding activities.
• Should you require sponsorship, the College will refer you to our visa partners, who will oversee the application. All visa applicants will need to make a Compliance Management Fee payment of £750, payable to the school.
•  Every effort is made to keep ‘extras’ to a minimum but it is likely that you will be billed for extra activities such as educational trips and activities. Your permission will be sought for your child to attend an activity that will generate an ‘extras’ charge over £20. 
• Exam charges will be billed as an extra each year in line with the charge which we receive from the examination boards.
• Sibling Discounts are awarded to parents who have two or more children simultaneously at our schools.
• A full term's notice is required before the removal of a pupil or a change in their status between boarding categories or from boarding to day pupil. In default of so doing, one term's fees in lieu of such notice will be charged. All notice should be given to the Headmaster. 

Flexi and Occasional Boarding
Subject to availability day pupils may stay overnight in the boarding houses for a dinner, bed and breakfast fee of £95 (inc VAT). Parents should contact their pupil’s HSM if they are interested in booking overnight stays on this basis.

Half-Term Boarding
Accommodation is available to all pupils during the half-term holidays at a fully inclusive price of £92.50 per day. This includes: supervision by House Parents, on site accommodation, full catering, leisure facility access (fitness suite, sports hall, tennis courts) and an extensive activities programme for the holiday period.  Half-term accommodation should be booked directly with our Head of Enterprises, James Lindsay: jlindsay@priorparkschools.com

Personal Learning Device (PLD):
All pupils are required to use a school supplied laptop that is designed to support their digital learning whilst at Prior Park College. We call these laptops “Personal Learning Devices” (PLDs).
The PLDs are leased by the school, and you will not be entering into any kind of lease agreement in your own right.
The fee for this 'service' is £100 per term.
The PLD remains the property of the school and is returned when your child leaves Prior Park College. All PLDs are covered by a Manufacturer’s warranty to repair or replace any defective part that fails. For other damage to the PLDs, such as impacts, pressure damage, water damage, etc, both accidental or through misuse, repairs are chargeable.

Sixth Form Subscription
All Sixth Formers are charged £72 per year for membership of the 6th Form Club. This subscription (charged in the Lent term) is used to subsidise tea, coffee, social-events, lectures and leadership days and to improve the overall Sixth Form experience. It also helps to fund the leaving events for pupils in the Upper Sixth Form.

Sibling Discounts
Prior Park Schools offer a discount to parents who have two or more children simultaneously at our schools. A discount of 5% will be applied for a second child, 10% for a third child, 15% for a fourth child and 20% for a fifth child. Sibling discounts will be applied in addition to any Scholarship or similar award.

English as an Additional Language
EAL is included in the fee for Years 7-11.
If additional EAL help or if IELTS preparation is required, lessons can be taught either individually or in very small groups. Where these lessons are charged the cost (which is exempt from VAT) is as follows:

Music tuition, Instrument hire, LAMDA tuition

· Michaelmas Term: £403.20 (12 lessons)
· Lent Term: £336 (10 lessons)

Instruments are available for hire at a termly cost of £60 (which includes their use at weekends and during the holidays). Piano and organ pupils are not charged hire fees. Drum pupils are charged £30 per term because pupil access to these instruments is more restricted. It is the hirer's responsibility to make any necessary insurance arrangements whilst keeping school instruments at home.

LAMDA
LAMDA lessons are 35 minutes a week in which students follow an acting syllabus working towards an exam. Students can work as solo performers or in a pair. Rates:
· £28 for 35 min session

MFL additional tuition fees
MFL lessons in a range of European and Asian languages can be provided by an individual specialist language tutor at the rate of £54 per session. These can be booked through Miss Main - Head of Eurasian Studies.

Printing
We are trying as a school to reduce printing and ask for your co-operation to achieve this. Pupils will have a reasonable initial termly budget for printing and once this budget has been used up we will recharge the costs of printing above this limit in tranches of £10. In some circumstances these charges will be waived if the printing is deemed necessary for the curriculum / subject.
