Fees and Bursaries at Malvern St James

Fees & Bursaries 

Fees quoted are per term and are reviewed each academic year. Fees include dental insurance, personal accident cover and all meals during the School day. Additional insurances such as Personal Effects and Medical Cover is available through the School.

It is the practice of all fee-paying schools to request payment in advance at the beginning of each term. If payment of accounts is not received by the School by the first day of term, interest is charged on a daily basis, together with other administrative costs, as stated in the notes on the fees bill.

We offer a monthly direct debit payment scheme to help spread the cost of your daughter's fees, should you wish to.

Tax free childcare payments are accepted as payment towards boarding fees and billable post 4pm activities.

Bursaries

Our bursary programme is generous and designed to make it possible for as many girls as possible who meet Malvern St James entry criteria to take up a place here. Alongside sibling, military and Old Girl Association discounts, we also offer means-tested bursaries. These are worth up to a maximum of 40% discount from the fees. All Bursaries are granted on the recommendation of the Director of Finance, at the discretion of the Head.

Scholarship Fee Remission

Senior School Scholarships carry a fee remission of up to 10% for Scholarships and 5% for Exhibitions. The final award will be considered alongside any other bursaries and remissions, the combined total of which will not exceed 40% of fees. Sixth Form Scholarships and Awards may carry a fee remission subject to means testing.

Scholarships are awarded for as long as the student remains at the School, provided that the Scholar’s progress and conduct are excellent. We also expect Scholars to actively contribute to their Scholarship specialism.
