Tuition fees for the academic year 2023/2024 are £3,900 per year.

Fees can be paid:

  • In full at the beginning of the year by the first day of term in September, or

  • In three equal instalments by the first day of each term, or

  • In 12 monthly payments of £325 by the first day of each month

Fees may be paid by cheque or by online payment to the school's bank account. Cash payments cannot be accepted and the school does not operate a card payment facility. Online payments must include your child's surname as a reference.

Because IGS: Durham is offering an outstanding education at a relatively very low fee, the prompt payment of fees is extremely important in enabling us to continue providing the best for every child. Therefore late or missed payments will be referred to the school's accountants who will apply the school policy in relation to these matters. Neither the staff, nor the Principal can enter into discussions regarding non-payment of fees. However the Principal should be contacted in the first instance if parents are experiencing difficulties in paying fees and he will provide relevant contact details. 

Fees payable if a pupil joins part-way through the year

When a child joins the school part-way through the academic year, we will apply a simple and fair process in calculating fees.

A daily rate will be calculated each year by dividing the annual fee for that year by the number of school days in the year.  This will give a notional daily figure.  (For example, in 2023/24 that is £3,900 divided by 182, giving a daily figure of £21.40).

For an in-year starter, the fee due will be calculated on that basis.

So, if a pupil joined the school 15 school days after the start of the current academic year, parents would be invoiced full fees less 15 x £21.40 (£321) i.e., £3,579.
