Fees in Advance Scheme (FIA)

School Fee Plan

We understand that personal circumstances and household budgets can change, so it’s more important than ever to have flexible fee payment options.

You can find details of our School Fee Plan below.

Childcare Vouchers and Tax-Free Childcare Payments

We accept childcare vouchers and Tax-Free Childcare payments for qualifying childcare. For more details, please visit our Nursery page here.

In addition to this, we also offer 15 hours free early education for three- and four-year-olds. See here for information regarding this.

Notice Period

We sincerely hope that your child will continue happily at St Hilda’s through to the end of Form VI. However, if circumstances do not permit this, please remember that a full term’s written notice is required should you wish to withdraw your child from the School or discontinue an optional extra (which requires half a term’s notice). For Nursery classes, a term and a half’s notice is required. Notice must be provided in writing to the Head no later than the first day of the term at the end of which the notice is to take effect. Failure to provide the required notice will result in liability for the full fees for the following term.
