Tuition fees for the academic year 2024/2025 are £4,250 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 £354 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 a good 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 third of the annual fee will be payable for every complete term. A daily rate will be calculated each year by dividing the annual fee for that year by the number of days in the year.  This will give a notional daily figure.  (For example, in 2024/25 that is £4,250 divided by 365, giving a daily figure of £11.64 per day).

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

So, if a pupil joined the school 30 school days after the start of the next academic year, parents would be invoiced 335 x £11.64, i.e., £3,899.40
