Fees & Bursaries
Abbotsholme School is committed to providing pupils with a rich and rounded experience. We recognise that investing in an independent school represents a significant commitment, so we prioritise transparency regarding our school.
We endeavour to operate on a 'menu'-based pricing structure to help reduce tuition fees. For the vast majority of our pupils, this will mean they pay less, even with the addition of VAT. Please view our school fees for 2025/ 2026 below:
