Information on paying fees
Tuition fees for the school year are split into three equal instalments, regardless of the duration of each term. School fees are charged in advance and are due on or before the first day of term. Alternatively, arrangements can be made to pay fees in monthly instalments by direct debit, with no additional charge for this option.
Fees in Advance
The RGS Worcester Family of Schools has a Fees in Advance scheme which is open to fee-payers who wish to pay for more than four terms in advance. This scheme is available across all of The RGS Family of Schools, including RGS Worcester, RGS Dodderhill, RGS Springfield and RGS The Grange. It provides an opportunity for fee payers to benefit from a saving on the overall cost of education by making a lump sum payment to the School in advance. If you would like more information on the FIA scheme, please contact the Bursary Department via bursary@rgsw.org.uk.
Insurance Policies
Pupil Absence Insurance is available at a small cost (0.55% of the School fee) which can be added to your invoice. This covers children who are absent for more than 8 consecutive days and must be evidenced by a note from a qualified GP. Further information is available from the Bursary. This charge will be exempt from VAT.
Sibling Discount
There is a 15% discount available for a third sibling and 20% for a fourth sibling whilst all three/four children are at The RGS Worcester Family of Schools, effective when the youngest child reaches Reception. All fee remission is applied to net fees.
Optional and Additional Charges
Lunches
Lunches are included in school fees where compulsory dining is in place (i.e. RGS Dodderhill, RGS Springfield and RGS The Grange). Where lunches are included, there is no discount available for those pupils who opt out. Lunches are charged separately at RGS Worcester at £5.25 per day when ordered for the term and £5.50 per day when ordered on an ad hoc basis. Lunch costs are exempt from VAT.
Music Tuition
Individual Music tuition is available. Lessons are organised on a rota basis so the same lesson is not missed each week. Parents are billed directly £210 per term, based on ten lessons. Whether VAT is applied will depend on the status of the external music teacher.
School Transport
The RGS Worcester Family of Schools has a large transport network using our own RGS transport, which is monitored using a state-of-the-art transport app. This is available to all of our pupils across the four RGS Schools. School Transport costs are zero-rated for VAT purposes. Find out more.
Other Charges to consider
Public examinations*, examination re-marks*, Co-Curricular trips*, replacement ID cards and lanyards, counselling*, breakfast, snacks and lunches at RGS Worcester*, lost books*. Some Co-Curricular activities incur a charge, for example, Horse Riding, Rowing and RGS Swimming Academy. We advise of these charges in advance of your child taking part in the activity.
*VAT Exempt
