The Wycliffe Schedule of Fees details the costs per term for our Day, Boarding and Flexi-boarding options.

The Fees cover all food, pre-school and after-school sessions where applicable and chosen, plus Saturday School. The vast majority of other costs are included in the Fees.

The Schedule lists optional items that incur an additional cost, such as Music Lessons or Rowing Club. The School Fees are reviewed in April for the next academic year.

Fees are charged per term and are payable in advance. We also have a variety of payment schemes to support families when planning their school fee commitments, including monthly Direct Debit payment plans.

Flexi-boarding

Wycliffe offer the option to flexi-board where families can pre-select the specific night(s) each week to board across an entire term.

If the four night Flexi- boarding option is taken, Wycliffe will also guarantee the bed-space will be for the sole use of your child. Flexi-boarding must be for a fixed number of nights but does not have to be for consecutive nights (e.g., a pupil committing to the ‘Two Night’ option might stay Mondays and Thursdays each week. The charge per term (in addition to the day fee) is:

One Night

Occasional Boarding

In addition to the Flexi-boarding, Wycliffe also offers Occasional Boarding for those parents wishing to book a space on an ad hoc basis.

Thereafter, a charge of £115 per night in the Prep School.
