This section provides comprehensive details regarding school fees, financial assistance opportunities such as scholarships and bursaries, optional insurance schemes and various payment methods available to parents at Plymouth College.
Fees & Financial Information
Fees
Our detailed fees schedule outlines the investment for your child’s education at Plymouth College, covering tuition and, where applicable, boarding costs for each academic year, which is structured into three terms. Information is clearly presented for different stages of the school, ensuring transparency for parents considering entry into our Prep School, Senior School, or Sixth Form.
The fees listed are effective from the specified academic year, typically commencing in September. We aim to provide clear, upfront information to help families plan effectively for their child’s educational journey with us. Please review the full schedule for specific year group costs.
Scholarships and Bursaries
At Plymouth College we are committed to recognising and nurturing talent in all its forms. Our scholarship programme aims to recruit pupils demonstrating potential for excellence, whether academic, in sport, or in the creative and performing arts.
To ensure wider access to our outstanding education, we offer a number of means-tested bursaries. These provide financial assistance to families of talented pupils who might otherwise be unable to afford the fees. We encourage you to explore these valuable opportunities for support.
Insurance
For additional peace of mind, Plymouth College facilitates access to insurance schemes tailored for our pupils. This is a Pupils’ Private Medical Scheme, currently provided by AXA PPP Healthcare, offering private medical treatment should the need arise.
Payment Options
We aim to provide flexibility and clarity regarding the payment of school fees. Parents can choose from several convenient payment methods, including bank transfer, most major card payments (excluding AMEX) and Flywire for straightforward international transactions.
In terms of structuring payments, fees are typically due termly, by the first day of each term. Alternatively, our ‘Fees in Advance’ scheme offers a small discount for paying fees annually, with varying discount rates depending on the number of years paid upfront. A Direct Debit option is also available, subject to status and affordability, offering another way to manage payments.
