Fees

Our Board of Governors set our academic rates which reflect the exclusive experience we offer here at Derby Grammar School, and take into account the quality of education we deliver as well as the outstanding opportunities we create for all pupils.

Fees are reviewed annually and value for money is continually assessed. Fees for the academic year 2024/25 are below:

Registration and deposit

Registration fee	Reception to Year 11 – £70 Year 12 – £50
Deposit	£500 – payable on acceptance of a place. This deposit is refunded at the end of the pupil’s final term

Fees explained

Fees are invoiced on a termly basis and are due for payment in full on or before the first day of the term to which the invoice relates. A 3% discount is available for those willing to pay the annual fee up front and by 31st August for the following academic year.

A late payment surcharge of 3% per month is due on all fees outstanding after the first day of term.
