Fees

Day pupil deposits and retainers

Day pupil deposit: £455

Day pupil deposit (non-UK passport holders): £4,500

Nursery School retainer: £455

It is expected that pupils will progress through the School, from Nursery to Sixth Form. The non-refundable retainer fee secures a place in our Reception year and beyond. On entry to Reception, the retainer is transferred into a refundable deposit at the prevailing rate. The acceptance deposit will be retained in the general funds of the School until the pupil leaves. The balance less extras charged on the final bill will then be transferred to the Development Office to help fund scholarships, bursaries, major capital projects and Clifton High Foundation initiatives, unless written notification to the contrary is received one month prior to the final bill.

Boarder deposit (non-UK passport holders): £7,215

A fees and extras bill is produced at the end of each term and sent to parents. This will contain tuition and examination fees for the following term and any extras accumulated during the current term.
