School Fees

The River School Fees 2026 – 2027

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 donations 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.

The River School offers excellent value for money and since 1985 has a proven track record of academic excellence.

All fees listed below are inclusive of VAT, where applicable.
