School Fees

The River School Fees 2023 – 2024

The River School is an independent Christian school run by a charity – the Worcester Christian Education Trust. This means that it is entirely dependent on parents and others for its income. The school charges fees to help cover the running costs; these are reviewed annually to reflect the real value of education for each child, based upon the budget for the coming year.

To help parents who have more than one child at the school, a 10% reduction is applied to siblings.

Fee Policy

(For three or more children, please contact the school, as further reductions may be available)

We recognise that not all families can afford the full fees, so we operate an Assisted Fees Scheme which is based on an income assessment. (Please contact us for more details)

Fees must be paid by twelve monthly standing order payments (or may be paid annually or termly in advance by agreement with the Financial Administrator) on the first of each month.

(NB: The School reserves the right to increase fees during the academic year.)
