FEES

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.

Please refer to our Boarding Admissions Policy  for more details.

Cranbrook School welcomes boarding applications from Armed Forces families who are in receipt of Continuity of Education Allowance (CEA).  Qualifying for CEA means that you will only pay 8% of the annual boarding fee which is just £384 per term (£1,152 per annum) for the 2021 academic year.
