Fees

The below registration fee and deposits are in effect from January 2025

For families with three or more children at Framlingham College, Day fees will be discounted by 18.2% and 17.6% for the Senior School and Prep School, respectively for the third child and by 45.3% and 43.9% for the Senior School and Prep School, respectively for fourth and subsequent children.

Service families in receipt of the MOD CEA are offered a discounted full boarding fee, which enables their children to attend Framlingham College. CEA parents are expected to fund a minimum level of 10% of the school’s fees, as required by the MOD. The combination of the CEA funding and the Framlingham College fee remission of 11.8% (Prep School) / 25.9% (Senior School) off the school fees provides a very attractive offer to Service parents.

For the school year 2024/25 the full boarding fees at Framlingham College are £47,799 (inc VAT) for pupils in Year 9 and above. After deducting the MOD CEA maximum award of £30,633 and the Framlingham College remission of £12,386.10, the parental contribution is £4,779.90 per annum (£1,593.30 per term).

No extra charge is made for using standard College facilities, games, medical attention within the College and everyday laundry (excluding suits) or linen repairs. Essential texts are not charged to pupils if returned in good condition and by the required deadline.

Pupils may be required to purchase some stationery items and Sixth Form texts. Fees for external exams are charged to parents. Costs for membership of Clubs & Societies such as CCF, as well as the cost of some trips and excursions, are charged to parents. At the College a small termly charge is added to fund House activities, and a further charge is applicable to fund Sixth Form activities. Transport organised by the College, including the school bus, trains and taxis is charged to parents.

Fees for individual instrumental and singing tuition are payable directly to relevant visiting music teachers.

Under this payment method the termly fees are invoiced in four equal monthly instalments each term (12 instalments per year from September to August inclusive) as follows:

• Autumn Term – 4 monthly invoices and payments via DD: September, October, November & December.
• Spring Term – 4 monthly invoices and payments via DD: January, February, March & April.
• Summer Term – 4 monthly invoices and payments via DD: May, June, July & August.

The monthly payments are taken on the 15th of each month except when this date falls on a weekend or bank holiday, in which case it will be taken the following working day.

Please complete and return a hard copy of the Direct Debit mandate form to the College marked for the attention of Hayleigh Alden-Lee, Finance Manager. (For a DD mandate form, please contact the Finance Office via email on feequery@framlinghamcollege.co.uk.)

Our standard payment terms and conditions, which require payment in full on, or before, the first day of each term, are applicable if you do not wish to pay fees monthly. Bank transfer is our preferred payment method for termly payments and our bank details can be found in the remittance section of the termly fee invoices.

Bank details for the transfer of fees, or the payment of a Registration fee or deposit can be found by clicking here.

Extras incurred by pupils during the term are invoiced at the end of the relevant term. These invoices are due on receipt and are not collected through direct debit. Bank payment or cheque payment is accepted.

A full term’s notice is required for the withdrawal of a pupil, change of status, or discontinuation of an optional extra. A full term’s fees, or the charge for the optional extra, is payable unless such notice has been given. Please see your Parent Contract for full details of notice periods.

Many employers offer their employees access to childcare vouchers through salary sacrifice schemes. We are able to accept childcare vouchers for payment of:

• Nursery fees
• Boarding fees for any pupil up to, and including, the Summer Term of the academic year in which they turn 15. This can include Full Boarding, Weekly Boarding, Part Boarding and Occasional Boarding fees.

Please note that childcare vouchers cannot be accepted for payment of Day fees (Reception – Year 13).

We are able to accept Early Education Funding during Reception until the term where your child turns five. You will need to complete the forms provided by the school at the beginning of each term. This funding will then be credited against the school fees.
