Fees, Bursaries & Scholarships

All the information you need on fees, bursaries & scholarships for each academic year at Farringtons.

Payment

Fees are payable in advance, on or before the first day of each term. Therefore, if you enrol your child after half-term, you’ll pay half the fees for that term. No further reductions are available for late starters.

The governors reserve the right to charge interest on late payments and to ask for pupils to be withdrawn if a settlement has not been made by half-term. Parents wishing to pay through instalments can contact the Bursar to obtain details of how to do this by calling 020 8467 0256 or emailing bursar@farringtons.kent.sch.uk.

Fee Reductions

Families with two or more siblings enrolled at the School receive a 10% discount on the fees of the younger sibling(s). This reduction is not available to siblings in receipt of the Early Years Grant.

Special fee reductions apply to British Forces personnel. To learn more, please contact the Admissions Team by calling 020 8467 0256 or emailing admissions@farringtons.kent.sch.uk.

For full boarders, weekly boarders and pupils whose residence is usually outside of the UK, the deposit is £13,880.00. All deposits are payable on parents’ acceptance of an offer of a place in the School.

The deposit is retained until after the final term of schooling when it is refunded to the parents, subject to the settlement of any outstanding charges.
