School Fees

Pinewood’s fees are inclusive of all activities, visits, equipment and trips (with the exception of residential trips). Pinewood Adventure residential trips in Years 4-8 will incur an additional charge, although it is part subsidised by the school to ensure costs to parents are always kept to a minimum.  There is a one-off charge when a child enters the Prep School of £18 for a hymn book. An annual Chromebook rental charge of £100 is included in the Autumn Term fees for pupils in Years 7 and 8. A deposit of £100 will also be paid at the start of Year 7 and refunded to parents when the Chromebook is returned, in a satisfactory state, at the end of Year 8. Chromebooks remain the sole property of Pinewood School.

Optional paid activities with external providers (eg ballet), and individual music tuition are billed separately.
