The Governors of St Joseph’s College seek to maintain affordable fees for all students. Fees are usually reviewed for the beginning of each academic year at the discretion of the Governors, and parents are given as much notice as possible of any increases.
*Please note that some fees and costs of ‘extras’ are subject to 20% VAT from January 2025. The fees in the table below and the information in the Fees & Trip Packages 2024-25 Information Booklet reflect this change.
Payment is made in advance by Direct Debit in ten monthly instalments from July to April.
