We review our fees yearly. Our fees are payable in full on or before the first day of term by direct debit and a full term’s notice is needed for the withdrawal of a pupil from Habs.
From 1 January 2025, 20% VAT is to be added to independent school fees. We have communicated to our parents that we will be limiting the financial impact of the tax changes to 14% by offering a discount to those parents who pay termly and are affected by the legislative changes.
If you have any VAT related questions, please email: VATenquiries@habselstree.org.uk
Tuition fees include the cost of stationery, the use of ordinary textbooks and apparatus plus personal accident and dental insurance (and in the Prep school it also includes lunch).

Our Fees In Advance scheme allows you or any family members to make lump-sum payments towards all or part of your child’s fees, including extras. Many parents, grandparents and even godparents like to contribute as part of the scheme.
The amount deposited with Habs Boys is then used to pay your child’s fees as they fall due each term, until the pre-payment is exhausted.
In return for holding the lump sum, the school will apply a discount to the advance payment of 3.50%, which approximates to a return on investment of 4.16% per year for higher-rate taxpayers. The scheme does not fix your future school fees. Yet the rate of return will be guaranteed at the time the money is received by Habs Boys, and for however long it is held.
You can find more details in the T&Cs document below, along with some worked examples. The FIA calculator provides a quotation based on your chosen termly amount.

If you subscribe to the School Fees Refund scheme, you can claim back for absences due to illness or accident. You can also claim for contact with infection, which should be for a continuous contact period of at least five days, including weekends.
If you would like to join the scheme, the current charge is 0.82% of your child’s school fees per term.
Claims must be submitted no later than 30 days after the close of the term to which they relate.
