ADEK Approved is the maximum tuition ADEK has approved this school to charge for 2026-2027. School Fee is what the school itself publishes. The school's own figure is higher in 8 of 15 year groups, which normally means it covers items ADEK lists separately, such as books, uniform or registration. See the ADEK record
Tuition is the school's own published 2026/27 fee schedule. ADEK's approved figures are shown alongside: they match on Years 1 to 13 to within ADEK's rounding, and sit about 3.9% higher on the two Foundation Stage years, because an approved fee is a ceiling and the school charges below it in early years.
