The incredible thing is a school can get their cricket pitch and net wickets up to a good enough standard in early April that they are safe for pros to use. I wonder what the fees are per term at that school.
£19,520 per annum!
That's cheap. My alma mater charges over 27K pa for weekly boarder and 21k pa for day student now
I don't have a frame of reference for those fees, sounded expensive but it must be one of the more reasonable ones especially given the location - unless I've misread the website info and that £19.520 figure is not the full annual fee.
From a 2013 article in the Telegraph
Cheltenham Ladies’ College charges up to £34,302 for boarding, while fees are £34,137 at Tonbridge School, up to £33,408 at Sevenoaks, £32,280 at Marlborough, £32,490 at Westminster and £32,067 at Eton.
In all, the average boarding fee now stands at £27,600.
Newcastle RGS fees are about 12k pa.
You are correct about Merchant Taylor's but there are several extras.
