Fees and Bursaries

School Fees

The current Application Fee for The Leys is £150 which is payable at Application and is non-refundable, even if we are not able to offer your child a place at the School.

On signing to accept an offer of a place, families will also be required to pay an additional £600 Entry Fee which will be refunded when the pupil leaves the School or credited without interest to the final payment of the fees or other sums due to the School on your child’s leaving. Families who permanently reside outside of the UK will be required to pay an Overseas Deposit (a full term’s fee less the Entry Fee).

All fees include VAT from 01 January 2025 (where applicable).

Caution Money

Parents whose permanent residence is outside the UK will be required to deposit a full term’s fee less the Entry Fee in addition to the fees for the first term, unless they have paid fees in advance. This payment, which is held against the pupil’s final account, is a precaution against international exchange difficulties and is a requirement of most independent schools.

Bursaries

The Leys is committed to broadening access to the School by offering means-tested financial support to help parents with the payment of School fees. Such support is known as a Bursary and is awarded in the form of a discount on the fees. The value of the Bursary is dependent on financial, compassionate and other pertinent circumstances.

Assistance is offered to new applicants to the school and also to existing families where there is a change in financial circumstances. The School has a limited amount of funds available for Bursaries and seeks to allocate the funds to assist as many families as possible.

Please note that parents of new pupils who wish to apply for a Bursary must do so before their son or daughter is assessed for entry to the school.

For further information about the process, please contact the Finance Bursar, Mrs Mary Cooksey on +44 (0)1223 508909 or [email protected]

In addition, though our Gift of Education programme, we able to offer funded bursary places allowing disadvantaged or vulnerable pupils to access the opportunities provided by a Leysian education. For further information about Gift of Education bursaries, including how to apply, families should contact The Royal National Children’s SpringBoard Foundation in the first instance.
