We know that choosing a prep school is as much a financial decision as an educational one, so we’ve set out our fees for the 2026–27 academic year as clearly as possible below – along with what’s included, what to expect around deposits and payment, and the financial support available to eligible families.
Termly payment is payable on or before the first day of term. There is a Sibling Discount Scheme available for families with three or more children enrolled at Prospect House School, please contact the Admissions Office for details.
A deposit of £3,000 (inclusive of VAT) is payable upon entry to the school. This is kept as a long-term deposit to be returned when the child leaves the school, subject to the school having received payment of all sums due to it.
We have scholarship places available in academics, art, drama, music and sport as well as bursary (means-tested) places for families interested in joining Prospect House into Years 3 – 5.
Termly fees cover a hot lunch prepared on the premises (for all children attending full days; Nursery morning-only sessions are excluded), a morning snack, all workshops, and non-residential trips and excursions. This means the fee you see is close to the full cost of your child’s day-to-day school life, without a long list of hidden extras.
A small number of optional extras sit outside the termly fee, so families can choose what suits them:
Residential trips (Years 3–6) and ski trips are charged separately and communicated well in advance.
We want a Prospect House education to be as accessible as possible, and offer several routes to support:
