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 £1,476 (incl VAT) per term is applicable for the Language Pathway Course.
  • An additional fee of £2,244 (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:

£240 is payable with the application, and is non-refundable. This fee is inclusive of VAT.

Early Entrance Deposit (EEP) – UK and international applicants (11+ / 13+):


Day Places: Non-refundable deposit of £750 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.


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.


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:

At Roedean, we strive to offer a broad range of activities within both the curriculum and extra-curricular programme at no additional cost. However, specialist individual, shared, or group tuition is available as an ‘extra’ and incurs additional charges.


Application Process:

In order to apply for extra activities, please use this link to submit your application form:


Tuition for Extra Activities: Application Form


Extras require a commitment of both time and finances. Students may only participate in extra activities with the joint approval of their parents and Head of Year/Tutor. They must also be able to manage all their commitments effectively.


Missed Lessons:

We will make every effort to reschedule missed private lessons. However, if a lesson is missed through no fault of the teacher, the School cannot guarantee a rescheduled session. In such cases, the lesson will still be charged in line with the guidelines below.


Withdrawal & Notice Period:

  • Extra activities can only be terminated at the end of a term.

  • Parents must provide written notice of withdrawal to [email protected] by the notice deadline stated below. Students may not negotiate their own withdrawal.

  • If correct notice is not given, a full term’s fees will be charged
