Termly Fees 

The Governors maintain the overall fees at a competitive level. This is of public benefit and has meant that the education provided by the school is much more widely available than other local independent schools.

As part of our commitment to ensuring access to quality education, we are delighted to offer all new pupils a 30% reduction of your first year’s fees, together with a 15% referral incentive. Pupils who are related to Old Cerdics receive a 10% discount for their entire time at Chard Prep School.
