Fees & Charges

As one of the country’s few state boarding schools, the education provided by Cranbrook School is free to day students and boarders alike. The only charges levied by the Governors go towards boarders’ accommodation and live-in costs – far lower than Independent sector fees.

Our boarding fees are exempt from VAT.

Boarders starting in Years 9-11 – £5,450 per term (£16,350 per annum)

On acceptance of a boarding place, a deposit of £2,000 will be payable together with 50% of the first term’s fees.  The remaining 50% will be invoiced in the holidays immediately preceding the student’s starting date and will be due by the first day of term.  Full details can be found in the Parent Boarding Contract that can be found in the download section.
