Financial matters are dealt with by the Bursar, Mr. Graham Partington. If you have any queries about these matters, please contact the Bursar's office.

Fees
The fees for the Senior School for the Academic Year 2008/9 are £3975 per term (with discount of £20 for prompt payment, £40 if paid by termly direct debit.) Direct debit schemes operate for those parents who wish to pay by this method. No additional charge is made for text books, stationery or examination fees.

For girls who wish to take school lunch, a cafeteria service operates at a rate of £601 per annum.

Individual music lessons are charged at £200 per term.

Governors' Bursaries
The school Governors make available a generous number of bursaries to girls entering the Senior School at ages eleven and sixteen. In order to qualify, a girl must reach a high standard in the Entrance Examination and financial need must be established by completion of a confidential statement of income and fixed expenditure. A committee of governors considers each case individually and with discretion. Further help can be given to pupils holding bursaries with such expenses as school field trips.

Parents are invited to fill in the relevant forms for Governors' Bursaries only when their daughter is called forward for interview. Bursaries are reviewed annually and an up-to-date financial statement is required.

Music Scholarships
There are a number of music scholarships available. Holders are eligible for Governors' Bursaries in addition if parental income qualifies. Parents of any girl who wishes to be a candidate should complete an application form and it return to the Admissions Secretary not later than 15th November in the year prior to entry.
