Fees
Application / Registration fees

- Registration form (application) fees: Early Years & Primary — NGN 10,000; Secondary — NGN 15,000; College — NGN 20,000.

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)

- The school does not publish a detailed, year-by-year tuition schedule in publicly available admissions documents and parent information materials. The admissions guidance states that tuition must be paid in advance of resumption and that parents receive school and uniform bills with an offer letter; specific per-term or per-year tuition amounts are issued as part of the enrolment paperwork rather than printed in the public admissions pages.

- Third-party school-directory listings show broad ranges for Temple-related preparatory/primary fees (for example one directory lists NGN 301,000–NGN 500,000 as a general school-fee band), but those directory numbers are not presented on the school's official admissions or parents' documents and should be treated as approximate.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Tuition billing is term-based and must be settled before the start of each term; the school's admissions guidance explicitly requires that tuition fees be paid on or before the first day of term and that school fees be fully paid before a student may resume.

- The school issues offer letters and accompanying school and uniform bills to admitted students; those documents are used to confirm the exact amounts and deadlines for the incoming session.

Boarding / Residential fees (if applicable)

- Residential accommodation is available at Temple College (on-campus student residence with live-in house managers and meals). No public schedule of boarding fees or termly boarding charges is published in the school's residential-accommodation page or in the parents' information pack. Specific boarding charges are provided through the college's enrolment/billing process.

Other costs and regular extras

- Uniforms: All school uniforms are purchased from the school's Uniform Shop located in the Early Years building (uniform bills are provided after admission). Parents are charged for school uniform items separately from tuition.

- Transport: The school operates a bus service; costs vary by route and service (pick-up, drop-off, or both). Transport is billed separately and priced according to route and service level.

- Meals / Lunch: The parents' information pack describes the school lunch programme and menus; meal provision and any associated charges are managed through the school and are separate from tuition billing.

- School administration items: Parents are required to purchase a Temple school pick-up tag for authorised collectors; additional small charges (exam fees, PTA/PTF levies, stationery/lesson charges, first-aid contributions, practical or laboratory charges for older students) may appear on term bills depending on year group and activities. The admissions and parent documents indicate such items are billed via school invoices rather than as a single published schedule.

Refund information

- A public, detailed refund policy for tuition, boarding or other fees is not included in the school's published admissions pages or the parents' information pack; refund terms and any applicable pro‑rations or penalties are handled through the school's accounts/administration at the time of admission or withdrawal.

Fee payment options

- The school uses an online school/parent portal for applications and administrative coordination and it processes payments via the Edves payment suite; historical school communications note that payments have been processed by card, bank-to-bank transfer and in-branch/over‑the‑counter channels. Parents are issued invoices and receipts via the school's payment system.

Summary of findings (brief)

- The school's admissions pages and the published parents' information pack provide clear procedural and billing terms (registration form prices, requirement that tuition be paid before resumption, uniforms purchased at the school, bus-service billing varies, existence of campus residential accommodation) but do not publish a public fee table listing precise per-term or per-year tuition amounts for each year group for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic sessions. For approximate fee bands some third-party directories list ranges, but precise term and year group figures are issued to parents through the school's offer letters and invoices.
