Extras

Tuition fees are inclusive of textbooks, stationery, Junior School day trips and personal accident premiums. Examination fees charged by SQA, GCSE, AS and A Level exam boards are charged as an extra cost separately.

Deposit

A deposit of £360 should be paid as a final entry fee when the offer of a place is confirmed. Deposits will be offset against the pupil's account for the final term.

Parents who are not domiciled in Scotland are required to pay a refundable deposit of one term’s boarding fees when a boarding place is accepted.

Tier 4 visas

Due to the complexity surrounding applications for Tier 4 Child Student visas, we require all applications to be made with Newland Chase Education, a firm of immigration specialists. An additional cost will be incurred for this service. Please contact admissions for details.

All financial matters relating to the school should be emailed to, feeassistance@stge.org.uk

Extras are kept to a minimum and in most cases, the termly fee is inclusive of all costs. Extras are charged for individual music lessons, after school and holiday club, English as a second language, external examination fees and some activities where an external instructor is hired. Full details of extras can be downloaded below. Most extra-curricular activities are provided free of charge.

Where three or more sisters are pupils at the same time, the third and subsequent sisters will receive a discount of one-third of tuition fees. A discount scheme is also available with brothers at Merchiston. Please note that the third child discount does not apply to Nursery.

One term only boarding fees during the autumn term will be billed on a pro rata basis.
