2024-2025 Academic Year: Fees for Spring and Summer Terms

  • Per the Chancellor’s Budget announcement on 30 October 2024, all School Fees are subject to VAT effective the term starting 1 January 2025.
  • There are three terms per year.
  • These fees will be subject to the annual standard of living increase.
  • A further charge of £1,385 (incl VAT) per term is applicable for the Language Pathway Course.
  • An additional fee of £2,105 (incl VAT) per term is made in respect of boarders entering the Sixth Form directly.

Payment of Fees:

Payment of fees is due in full by the first day of term unless part of the direct debit scheme. Fee accounts are prepared at the end of each term for payment by the start of the following term by bank transfer direct to the School or via Flywire.


Pre-Paid Fee Scheme:

The School operates a Pre-paid Fees Scheme, by which parents can pay a lump sum in advance for School fees (minimum one year) thereby receiving a discount at the current rate of 2% (subject to change). A quote can be obtained from the Deputy Finance Manager ([email protected]).


Overdue Fees:

Interest will be payable on accounts not received by the first day of each term. The current rate of interest is Bank of England Base Rate plus 4%. We will also recover any administrative fees associated with any debt and pass on the costs of any debt recovery agents that we may instruct.


Registration Fee:

£200 is payable with the application, and is non-refundable.

Boarding Places: Non-refundable deposit of £2,500 payable on acceptance of EEP place. The balance (remaining value of the applicable standard entrance deposit) will be payable in line with the standard entry acceptance deadline.



Unless stated otherwise, all deposits are refunded (without interest) after the student has left the School and after all fees and ‘extras’ have been settled. If the student does not take up the accepted place, the deposit is non-refundable.

Roedean School will never change its bank account details without informing you first. If you receive any communication stating there has been a change to the School account details, or offering a change in the contractual terms in exchange for upfront fee payments, please report directly to [email protected]


Notice of Withdrawal:

Once a place in the School has been accepted, at least one full term’s notice of withdrawal of a student must be given to the Head in writing, irrespective of whether the student has joined the School or not. If the required notice is not given, fees for the next term will be charged. Please see the School’s Terms and Conditions.


Requests for changes of status from day to boarding or vice versa, or a change in boarding status categories of full, weekly or flexi, also require a full term’s notice.


If a student has been a boarder for the Autumn and Spring Terms, the same fee will be applicable for the Summer Term irrespective of whether there is a change of status to a lower charge category. Please see the School’s Terms and Conditions.



Charges for Extra Subjects and Activities:

Written permission of the parent or guardian is required before a student can be accepted for tuition in an extra subject/activity.


Since payment must be made to the teachers concerned, subjects/activities may only be terminated at the end of the term, for which half of one term’s notice in writing is required, prior to half term. If a subject/activity is discontinued during a term, the whole of that term’s charge will be payable.


Where students require private academic coaching, this is a matter for a separate written contract between the parents and the School.


The charges set out below for the Spring and Summer terms are inclusive of VAT, unless otherwise specified. The charges for the Autumn term 2024 remain exclusive of VAT.
