A St James education offers pupils an inspirational and fun introduction to school life, through a balanced education where creativity, academic success and spiritual well-being walk hand-in-hand.
We are committed to broadening access to this education by offering eligible parents or guardians bursaries to help with school fees. Bursaries are awarded on a means-tested basis and can cover up to 100% of fees, depending on need (read more below).
Lunches (vegetarian) are provided free within the basic fee.
Information on fees and admissions for our Nursery can be found here.
We offer the government’s universal 15 hours and 30 hours of free childcare.
*Minimum number of sessions is 5 mornings
*Full day sessions include lunch
Prep School fees for 2025/2026 are as follows:
Registration: There is an initial registration fee of £150 per child registered, which is non-refundable.
Acceptance Deposit: There is an acceptance deposit of £2,000 for the Prep School, and £1,700 for the Nursery (whole term’s fee for non-UK residents).
Fees are payable in full by the first day of each term. All fees are to be paid by direct debit unless otherwise arranged with the Bursar.
For monthly payment, the school has an arrangement with School Fees Plan. More information is available here.
Families who wish to apply for help with school fees, must complete the school’s registration form and pay the non-refundable registration fee.
The family’s information will then be passed on to the bursary department who will send an online bursary application.
For entry in 2026/2027, this bursary application must be completed and all relevant documents submitted by Friday 21 November 2025. If not completed within this timescale, the application will be rejected.
For entry in 2027/2028 and beyond, the bursary department will be in touch the year before the child’s year of entry.
