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.

Full Boarding

Full boarders remain in the boarding house all term except for half terms and exeat weekends.  When full boarders are unable to be with their Guardians for exeat weekends, they may remain in the boarding house, charged at £100 per night, incl of VAT.

 Weekly Boarding

Weekly boarders can choose to stay, for 5 nights, in the boarding house from Sunday night through to Friday evening (after supper), or from Monday morning through to Saturday morning (after breakfast).

Flexi boarders can choose to board for between 1 and 3 nights per week.  They have their own dedicated bed in the boarding house, where they can keep their belongings.

 Occasional Boarding

This is on an adhoc basis only and is subject to availability in the boarding house.  It must be pre-arranged with the House staff, with at least one week’s notice.

All pupils are eligible to 2 free nights per term and may stay up to an additional 5 paid nights, charged at £50 per night, incl of VAT.

Where boarding is supportive to a Day pupil’s commitments to MSJ at school events (e.g. school trips, Strengthening and Conditioning, a 50% discount will be applied to the above price i.e. it will be £25 per night, incl of VAT.  Eligible events however must begin before 07:30 or must mean a return to school after 21:00.
