Payment of fees

Fees are to be paid in full by direct debit on or before the first day of each term.

At its discretion, the school offers parents the option to pay a particular term’s fees by instalment under its termly instalment scheme. No administration charges, interest or other charges are included in the termly instalment scheme. For further information, please click here.

The school accepts payment of fees in advance for a period of three terms or more, the actual calculation for which depends on the number of terms and the items to be included. Details may be obtained from fees@perse.co.uk.

The registration fee reflects the costs incurred by the school in administering the admissions process before the offer of a place is made. It is non-refundable irrespective of whether the registered child attends the entrance tests. 

The securing and induction fee is payable when an offer of a place is accepted. It reflects the administration costs incurred by the school in the preparation for new pupils entering the school, including new pupil and parent induction arrangements. This fee is non-refundable. 

Fees are reviewed annually and the fees for the following academic year are usually announced at the end of March. 

Middle School Device Charge  

All pupils in Years 9 to 11 are issued with a Microsoft Surface Pro device (through nine termly usage charges, after which the student retains the device). This ensures that all students have access to an appropriate lightweight device, with a type-case keyboard, excellent digital inking, good battery life and a rubber-fitting case, which is essential for day-to-day school use.
