Investing In Your Child’s Future

A School that offers a holistic education in a loving and caring environment is the greatest
gift a parent can give to their child.

Aldenham School strives to maintain its fees at a competitive level compared to similar institutions across the country. The Governing Body and Foundation Leadership Group fully recognise the significant commitment required from parents to finance a top-tier education. Please note that all figures listed here include any VAT where it is applicable. To assist in managing school fees and additional extras expenses, we advise seeking independent financial guidance when committing to paying fees of this nature to ensure ongoing financial affordability and to prevent disruption to the child’s education..

Please note that the Governors have decided that the staged fee structure you see below, containing a differential between the Year 7-8 fee and the Year 9-13 fee, will cease from September 2025. This staged structure does not reflect the offering to the different ages, which is entirely comparable. Therefore, from September 2025, there will be a flattened fee structure in which all year groups are charged the same from years 7-13. To facilitate this, and ever mindful of the cost to parents, the Year 7 and 8 fee and the Year 9-13 fee will align, (but the overall fee burden on the parent will be the same). The structure below, therefore, will apply from January 2025 – August 2025 only. Please note that all individual fees listed below are subject to change for September 2025, in addition to the change to the flattened structure, and will be published in the Summer term.

Additional Charges

We aim to keep extra charges to a minimum, to enable families to budget effectively. However, inevitably there are some additional extras which differ from student to student and these are added to the termly bill.

All Students are required to wear School uniform, which is purchased from the School Shop. All students use a School Windows Surface device. The device rental (different for different year groups owing to specification) is charged as an extra on the termly bill at an additional cost per term (ranging from £85 to £105). As with other Independent Schools, public examination fees are charged separately, as the wide variety of options and papers sat differ from case to case. Private instrumental tuition is charged extra, and some trips and excursions are also charged.  For International Students who require English as an Additional Language Support lessons, some group lessons are included in the fee, but any additionally required 1 to 1 lessons are charged. This is list is not exhaustive. In all cases where something may carry and additional charge, parents are informed in advance.

Payment of Fees

We provide various options for the payment of fees.

They can be collected termly by direct debit, or none month direct debit (3 months each term). We do offer a Fees in Advance scheme if parents wish to pay for the whole year or more in advance. We offer a discount under such circumstances.

If parents wish to pay monthly, we have an arrangement with School Fee Plan  who can facilitate this service.
