Termly Fees for Waverley Prep School from January 2025 (includes VAT where applicable)

Our fee structure charges Core School Day Fees (08:30hrs - 15:30hrs) and Breakfast Club/After School Club separately. This structure means that parents only pay for the care either side of the educational school day that is required. Therefore, to calculate your total fees, please view the Core School Day Fees then add on any additional Club care if required. 

• Fees stated include VAT where chargeable.
• Fees are due in full by the first day of each term. 
• Our notice period for both withdrawing from School (with the exception of the Reception year) and also any 'Top-Up' Specialist Clubs is one full term's notice in writing.  This means notice must be given by the last day of the Easter holidays for pupils wishing to withdraw at the end of the Summer term. Please view our Terms and Conditions for full details.
