Year 7 residential trip to Kilve Court is included in the fees.

For other school trips and after school clubs, the member of staff organising the activity or event will communicate the specific costs associated with that event to parents before they need to book their daughters onto the activity. This ensures the costs are understood in advance of any commitment to the activity.

All external exams will be charged individually to students based on their particular subject choices. These fees will form part of the Summer Term invoice issued by the GDST Fees Office at the end of the Spring Term.

Payment of fees

All fees must be paid via the Bank direct debit system. As is the practice of all independent schools, the fees are due and payable termly in advance before the first day of the term concerned. The Trust also operates a scheme whereby the fees may be paid by monthly instalments.

Termly or monthly payment

All fees should be paid by direct debit termly on or before the first day of each term or by monthly direct debit. No reduction is applicable during terms when there is less teaching because of public examinations.
