What is included in the tuition fees?

Lunch, text books, compulsory trips and a wide range of activities are included in the fees. Some activities, however, are charged as ‘extras’. It is possible to limit extra charges to much lower amounts if you wish to. In charging extras, the guidance to teachers and others is that items or activities costing up to £20 can be added as an extra, but that prior parental agreement must be given to charges over £20. 

Below are examples of other activities or items that the school may charge as extras:

• Art and Design Technology materials (non-standard only)
• Home Economics ingredients
• Careers courses, registration, university visits
• Extra tuition including Music and Drama
• Health Centre transport charges
• Library photocopying, fines and replacement costs
• Newspapers and magazines
• Physiotherapy charges
• Sports charges, lessons e.g. fencing
• Stationery
• Theatre trips (optional trips only are charged)
• External examination fees

For international pupils joining on Leweston World the majority of these are included in the price with elective options such as individual music and drama and overseas trips being an optional extra. The Bursary is happy to answer any questions about fees and to talk about payment options.
