What Farringtons School Fees Include

Farringtons School fees include exam fees for GCSEs  (excluding re-sits), as is homework preparation from 4-5pm for all Senior School pupils. Prep School pupils enjoy a wide range of co-curricular clubs, from swimming to knitting.

Early Years Reading

Payment

Fees are payable in advance, on or before the first day of each term. Therefore, if you enrol your child after half-term, you’ll pay half the fees for that term. However, no further reductions are available for late starters.

The governors reserve the right to charge interest on late payments and to ask for pupils to be withdrawn if a settlement has not been made by half-term. For instance, parents wishing to pay through instalments can contact the Bursar to obtain details of how to do this by calling 020 8467 0256 or emailing bursar@farringtons.kent.sch.uk.

Fee Reductions

Families with two or more siblings enrolled at the School receive a 10% discount on the fees of the younger sibling(s). However, this reduction is not available to siblings in receipt of the Early Years Grant.

Special fee reductions apply to British Forces personnel. For more information, please contact the Admissions Team by calling 020 8467 0256 or emailing admissions@farringtons.kent.sch.uk.
