Fees are reviewed annually and parents are given a term’s notice of forthcoming increases.

For children who are not receiving any bursary support, we offer a sibling fee reduction of 5%.  This is awarded to the elder child(ren) and recognises siblings across both King Edward VI, Preparatory and King Edward VI School, Southampton.

Fees are payable in advance, together with extras incurred during the previous term. Invoices are payable on or before the first day of each term. Balances outstanding two weeks after the beginning of term are subject to interest at the rate of 1.5% per month. The preferred method for settlement of invoices is by direct debit.

The sibling discount at Stroud and King Edward VI School for a second and third child, is 5% - applied to the eldest child when a sibling joins.

We are offering a Fees in Advance Scheme where the cost of your child’s education at Stroud, King Edward VI School can be reduced by making an advanced lump sum payment dependent on the agreed number of terms to which the advance payment applies. If you are interested in finding out more about the scheme please email billing@kes.hants.sch.uk
