Fees

We work hard to make our school fees competitive and these are reviewed annually by the Head and Governing Body.

Our fees incorporate all meals, books and equipment. Day trips and visiting speakers are also generally covered within the termly tuition fee. Residential trips (from Form III to Form VI) are chargeable.

Parents are able to pay fees in a number of ways: for further information, please contact the Bursar by email bursar@longacreschool.co.uk or telephone 01483 893225.
