Fees

High-quality education at outstanding value

At Auckland College, we believe that exceptional education should be accessible.

Our fees are structured to provide outstanding value while supporting the inclusive, nurturing, and academically ambitious environment we’re known for. We are proud to offer a comprehensive educational experience — including wraparound care, meals, and enrichment — with fees that remain significantly lower than the average independent school in the region.

What’s included in the fees

Our fees cover far more than classroom teaching. Pupils benefits from:

Daily wraparound care - 7:30 AM – 6:00 PM, 51 weeks per year - for Lower School pupils only (3-11 year olds)

Breakfast club, after-school clubs, and holiday clubs

Daily hot lunch and afternoon snacks

A broad enrichment curriculum, including sport, music, STEM, art and more

Access to our enhanced curriculum, including off-site experiences and specialist teaching

Flexible payment options

We aim to make our fee structure as flexible as possible:

Annual Payment Discount: Pay for the full academic year in advance and receive a discount.

Termly Payments: Split the fee across three terms for easier budgeting.

Sibling Discount: A discount is available for families with more than one child attending the school.

Referral Reward: Recommend a friend to Auckland College and both families will receive £50 off their fees.

We operate a waiting list for year groups that are full and prioritise applications in the order they are received.
