Queenswood School

Fees Stucture

The fees for the Academic Year are as follows. In response to parental feedback we are now pleased to offer formalised 1-, 2-, 3-night and weekly boarding packages.

Lunch for all girls, and supper for boarders, is included in the fees. There are extra charges for certain co-curricular activities and optional lessons; details of these are outlined in the information pack sent to all families before girls join the school.

Fees are reviewed annually by the Board of Governors in March.

*A significant proportion of Queenswood’s fee income is spent on the development and upgrading of the school’s buildings and other assets. Each generation of pupils benefits from the contribution made by its predecessors and, in turn, contributes to the facilities to be enjoyed by future generations. In planning fee levels, it is important that we take account of the imbalance in contribution to development between families whose daughters are at Queenswood for the two years of Sixth Form (Years 12 and 13) and those whose daughters spend up to seven years at the school. For this reason, and in common with practice at other similar schools, fees for girls entering Queenswood direct into the Sixth Form are subject to a surcharge. This surcharge will be £500 per term and is subject to annual review by the Governors.

Payment of Fees

Termly payment
Fees and extras are due in full by the first day of each term. For parental convenience, the school is able to collect this via direct debit.

Instalments
The school understands that payment in full can be difficult and as such is offering a direct debit scheme whereby payments for fees and extras can be made in three equal instalments per term as set out below:

• Autumn Term – September, October and November
• Spring Term – January, February and March
• Summer Term – April, May and June

Please note that this option is only available via direct debit.

Monthly payment

Late payment of fees
Should fees be overdue or short then there will be either an administrative fee or interest charged, as per the Parent Contract.

Advance payment of fees
Fees may be paid in advance for the full year. Please write to the Bursar well in advance if you wish to make such an arrangement.

Discounts

• Sibling Discount: we are pleased to be able to offer a discount on the fees for girls who are siblings. Where two or more daughters attend the school at the same time, the fees for the younger daughter(s) will be subject to a 5% discount.
• A 15% discount on fees is available for full-time members of Her Majesty’s Regular Armed Forces and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

Withdrawals

A term’s notice must be given, in writing, to the Principal before the removal of any pupil. If such notice is not given, a full term’s fees will be charged in lieu.

Refund policy

Registration Fees are non-refundable, regardless of whether the place is taken up or not. Refunds for academic and boarding fees are covered by the Parent Contract which must be agreed and signed prior to other monies being transferred.
