SCHOOL FEES
The most up to date school fees can be found in our ‘Admissions’ website section. You will find fees for the
Preparatory School (inclusive of schools lunches) and the Senior School (exclusive of school lunches), as well
as the costs for individual music lessons and after school supervision for the Preparatory School.
Accepting a place at City
A non-refundable acceptance deposit of £1,500 is required on written acceptance of a fee-paying place.
No deposit is required for bursary places.
Notes on payments of school fees
Our preferred method of payment for school fees is our direct debit system, which spreads the
cost across nine payments throughout the year. If girls leave City, a full term’s notice must be given
in writing or a full term’s fees will be charged in lieu. Parents who pay school fees out of income
are expected to have adequate insurance cover. Our Bursar is willing to offer advice if required.
BURSARIES AND SCHOLARSHIPS
We believe that City’s vast range of educational opportunities must be open to girls who will benefit most
from learning here, not just those who can afford the fees. We are committed to providing school places
to girls regardless of financial means and we therefore offer bursaries and scholarships for entry into Year 7
(11+) and Year 12 (16+) to families who might not initially consider City for their daughter for financial
reasons. Approximately 30% of our Senior School girls currently receive some form of financial assistance,
whether a small scholarship or a full fee bursary.
We offer the following awards:
Music scholarships
Drama scholarships
Sports scholarships
Art scholarships
Means-tested bursaries
Please note that we do not offer Academic scholarships. We also unfortunately do not offer scholarships or
bursaries to girls joining the Preparatory School (Year 3). Girls may apply for both a bursary and scholarship
award.
Applying for a Bursary and/or Scholarship
If you would like to apply, you will just need to follow these steps:
1.
Register for the entrance exam.
See page 5 for details.
2.
About 2 months before the entrance assessment, we will send all details of scholarships and bursaries
for which girls can apply.
You will then only need to fill in a bursary application form if your daughter is
successful in her entry exam and is invited for interview.
