KHDA Approved is the maximum tuition KHDA has approved this school to charge for 2026-2027. School Fee is what the school itself publishes. This school currently bills below its approved fee in 7 of 18 year groups. See the KHDA record
Total Fees is what a family is billed for the year in total: tuition after any discount KHDA approves, as KHDA's 2026-27 fact sheets total it, which is the fee the school charges. KHDA lists uniform, a digital device (from FS1) and ID card replacement as required supplies bought separately, and exam entry fees are charged at the boards' own rates.
The fees shown are what the school charges for 2026-27, from its fee page and KHDA's 2026-27 fact sheets, which record that the school requested no increase. From Year 7 KHDA approves a higher tuition and records a discount against it (6.15% in Year 7, 2.028% from Year 8), so the KHDA Approved column shows the fee before that discount; the nursery bands, Foundation Stage and Years 1 to 6 carry no discount. Nursery fees are for five days a week from 7:30am to 3:30pm; morning-only (to 12:30pm) and three-day patterns are charged pro rata. Not included: GCSE and IB examination fees, which are compulsory and billed separately; a one-to-one Learning Support Assistant where a student needs one; and uniform, a digital device, transport, lunch and trips.
