School Fees

Introductory Fees for 2025/26

In our first year of operation we are offering introductory discounted fees at five thousand pounds per student per annum. Families that have more than one full-time child attending the school simultaneously are given a further discount. The first child is charged 100% of their fees, the second child pays 75%, the third child is discounted to 50%, a fourth child pays 25%, and any subsequent children can attend the school for free.

3rd Child £834 £2,500 £3,751
4th Child £417 £1,250 £4,168

Bursaries

Please don’t feel that you can’t apply due to the amount of fees. We do not wish that any child will miss out on a wholesome Christian education because they cannot afford it. Our school will do its utmost best to offer bursaries to families that require them. Bursaries are means-tested, and the amount that we have available each year will vary. If you wish to be considered for a bursary please indicate this when you complete the application form. For more details please contact us with your questions at: standrewsschoolscotland@gmail.com

Please notice that families locked in into the introductory rate already receive a significant discount and thus are not eligible for additional bursary funds. These families are still eligible for assistance from the hardship fund.

Hardship fund

The hardship fund is there to support existing school families who come into unexpected hardship and become unable to continue paying their fees due to a change in their circumstances. To avoid disruption in the education of our pupils we provide funds to help our families to continue attending the school.
