Fees
2024/25 fees
For further information on the VAT increase in fees from January 2025, please see letter from Chair of Governors to current parents from November 2024.
The term’s fees include tuition, basic stationery, materials and textbooks, library books and activities such as Orchestra and Choir as well as most societies. Also included are a Parents’ Association subscription and Personal Accident Insurance Premium.

3. Junior School wraparound care (Breakfast Club and After-School Care)
Fees may be paid by direct debit either termly or via three instalments per term. Colfe’s also runs a scheme for advance payment of school fees. Under this arrangement parents can pay a lump sum in advance to purchase credits against future school fees and receive a discount on the amount of credits purchased. Such sums can be paid prior to entry (once a pupil has been offered a place), on entry, or at any time during a pupil’s career at the school. Further details of the scheme and its Terms & Conditions are available on application to the Bursar by emailing feesinadvance@colfes.com.
The Governors reserve the right to vary fees and charges termly, with a term’s notice. Fee changes are normally made annually for the start of each new school year. On acceptance of an offer of a place at Colfe’s, a deposit of £2250 is payable. This deposit is reimbursed at the end of the pupil’s time at the school.
Acceptance of a place at Colfe’s involves a parent agreeing to give a full term’s notice in writing of their son or daughter leaving the school. Failure to give such notice will make the parents responsible for the payment of a term’s fees.
Pupil Devices
On entry to the senior school, parents will be asked to purchase a device for their children to use in lessons and for homework. This is an additional cost to the fees – please see Digital Learning for more information.
