Fees

Christ’s Hospital is committed to providing a first class education to talented boys and girls from all backgrounds by offering eligible parents/guardians means-tested financial support with the payment of school fees. Such support is known as a bursary.

Christ’s Hospital is the UK’s leading charitable school and the country’s most generous bursary charity. Christ’s Hospital provides free or substantially reduced cost places to over 630 of our 900 students each year. For further information and examples of our fee assisted places, please request a prospectus.

The full fee rates for the academic year 2023/24:

Boarding Fee: £13,970 per term
Day Fee: Years 7/8: £7,220 per term – Years 9/13: £9,090 per term

Reduced fees and free places are only available for boarding places. If you apply for a fee assisted place you will be assessed according to your means.

Families on very low incomes may also be assisted with the cost of pocket money, House Funds, travel costs and sports wear.

  • 11% of CH students receive a fully supported bursary place
