Fees

Application & registration fees
- No fixed, published application or universal registration fee amount is shown in the school's publicly linked fee schedule; the admissions process begins with enquiry and a personal conversation and any registration/application charge is confirmed with the offer.
- Optional diagnostic assessments used to shape personalised learning plans are available for purchase and will be charged separately when selected.

Tuition fees by year group and per term (academic year referenced)
- The full, itemised tuition schedule (per year group and per term) is published as an "INDICATIVE FEES 2025–26" fee schedule. The schedule lists tuition by year group and by term; the school treats those figures as indicative because each pupil's final fee is confirmed according to their agreed personalised learning pathway.
- The school confirms the exact tuition figure for each pupil in the formal offer once the personalised learning plan (including any additional support or optional elements) is agreed.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Fees are presented in the published indicative fee schedule for the 2025–26 academic year; the precise billing schedule and payment terms for an individual pupil (termly/annual invoicing, due dates, any deposit or advance payment) are confirmed in the written offer and fee communication provided when a place is offered.
- Optional items (for example diagnostic assessments or specialist support) are charged separately and will be shown in any tailored invoice.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- The school does not operate boarding for pupils; it is a day school. No boarding fees apply.

Other costs and typical additional fees
- Diagnostic assessments: available for purchase and charged in addition to tuition where selected.
- Enrichment, trips and outdoor learning: pupils use an off-site Wilderness Centre for outdoor education; any costs for residential trips or specialist outings are charged as required and are confirmed in the personalised offer or individual trip communications.
- Uniform: the school's published information indicates an informal approach to dress (no conventional uniform policy), but any compulsory branded items or recommended kit for specific activities will be specified and charged if required.
- Technology, books and materials: where additional items (for example a school Chromebook or specialist materials) are required these are arranged and billed in line with the individual pupil's plan.

Refund information and notice/withdrawal terms
- Refunds, deposits, notice periods and any charge for late withdrawal are set out in the formal fee terms connected to an offer of a place; the school confirms these contractual terms when issuing the place offer and invoice. The published indicative fee schedule is used as a guide but the formal offer contains the binding billing and refund/notice terms.

Fee payment options
- Publicly available pages do not publish a comprehensive list of accepted payment methods. Accepted payment methods and any banking or card-payment details are provided to families in the formal fee letter and invoice that accompany an offer and enrolment paperwork.

Note on academic year referenced: the school's current publicly linked published schedule is titled "INDICATIVE FEES 2025–26" and is used as the basis for individual offers; the school makes clear that the final fee for each pupil will be confirmed as part of the personalised offer.

Academics

Curriculum

Prep uses the Cambridge Primary Curriculum (CPC) and English National Curriculum alignment for English, Maths and Science to benchmark progress. Co-curricular activities are integrated as part of a holistic approach that develops confidence, creativity and independence.

In Years 10–11, students follow IB MYP or the IGCSE Composite pathway, with elements that can be blended to fit individual strengths and future aspirations. The Sixth Form operates Hybrid Personalised Pathways (HYPE), four days in school and one day remote, and follows a Trident model of academic study, character development and vocational learning; pathways combine Cambridge Technicals and A Levels with vocational credentials and micro-credentials, plus work placements and enrichment to prepare for university and beyond.

Higher Education Progression

Admissions

The school has an admissions process that starts with enquiries via the contact form, phone, or email. There is no pressure to commit; it is an opportunity to explore whether Wotton is the right next step. Admissions typically progress through a personal tour led by the Director of Operations, followed by meetings with relevant school leaders; a taster day or days may be requested. For families with special educational needs, the Director of Inclusion meets with them. Sixth Form applicants complete a supplementary entry form exploring preferred subject choices and future aspirations; these conversations inform the creation of a Personalised Learning Plan, with optional diagnostic assessments available for purchase. Diagnostic testing is encouraged to support meaningful, personalised planning, helping design a programme that fits each student's goals, strengths, and needs. Final steps involve agreeing a personalised pathway and the associated fee; the published fee structure provides an indicative guide, while final fees depend on the exact provision put in place, and a tailored figure is provided as part of the offer.

Scholarships

The school rarely offers scholarships; subsidies are distributed across all potential students rather than exclusively rewarding academic or athletic excellence.
