School Fees

School Fees

At BCS we are conscious, as we prepare our academic and financial plans, that investing in an Independent School education is a significant expenditure for families.

Fees for education at BCS vary depending on the school (Prep or Senior) and the stage your child is at in the school and whether he or she is a day pupil or a boarder. We offer a discount of 5% for the first sibling and 10% for the second and subsequent siblings.

We strongly believe in providing value for money and always strive to keep annual fee increases to a minimum. We therefore continually ensure that we employ high quality staff and set stretching goals alongside a focus on efficiency and budget management.

We are also mindful of the financial pressures on families as we establish our fees for the forthcoming year.

In line with our commitment to strive for the best value for money, each component of our budget across our schools has been reviewed to ensure every piece of expenditure is absolutely necessary and delivers the best value and educational impact.
