For reasons of administration, the right is reserved to require payment by parents of an additional deposit of £1,700, as shown on the fees list for the relevant year, in the case of a pupil whose normal residence is outside the UK or will be a boarder irrespective of whether their normal residence is in or outside the UK.
The additional deposit will be retained in the general funds of the School until the pupil leaves and will be repaid by means of a credit without interest to the final payment of fees.
School Fees
All fees are payable by Direct Debit on the first day of each term. Payment by direct bank transfer may be possible on prior agreement with the Finance Office.
The basic fee covers tuition, games, loan books, stationery, libraries, medical inspection, careers aptitude tests, certain school publications and lunch, which all boys are required to attend.
In the Senior School, charges are made for the purchase of some books (which become the personal property of the boy) and public examination fees.

| St Paul’s Juniors – Lower First to Upper Third Years | £8,306 per term | £9,054 |

| Boarding Fee (including tuition fees) | £15,636 per term | 17,043 |
*To reduce the impact of the application of VAT on termly tuition and boarding fees, a 9% reduction has been applied to the previously published 2024/25 fees (excl. cost of lunches and excl. VAT) has been applied.

| Musical Instrument | Instrumental lessons are payable directly to the self-employed visiting music teacher concerned. The fee is £35.77 per 35 minute lesson for both St Paul’s School and St Paul’s Juniors. (Visiting Music Teachers review their fees annually and  may increase the fee in September 2026). |
| Remission | The Governors make some remission of fees when there are three or more children of one family at St Paul’s School, St Paul’s Juniors or St Paul’s Girls’ School. A formal application, in writing, must be made by the parent to the Finance Director. Remission will begin in the term following the date of application and will not be retrospective. |
*Please refer to our Terms and Conditions and Parent Contract as outlined on our School Policies page and our Cancellation notice and form.
We take great pride being able to offer financial assistance to the families of talented boys who otherwise could not afford private education.
Each year there are funds available for free and subsidised bursary places at all entry points. As with all other entrants, pupils hoping to benefit from a bursary must gain a place at the school on academic merit. Financial assistance is offered on a means-tested basis.
