Introduction

Established in September 2000, it comprises Lekki British Pre School, Junior School and High School, delivering education from age 1 to 18 on a single site. The curriculum follows the English National Curriculum across divisions, beginning with the EYFS play-based Early Years framework, then the National Curriculum of England and Wales in the Junior School, and Cambridge International IGCSE and A Levels in the Senior School, alongside the Undergraduate Foundation Programme (IDFP) for university preparation. The school also offers UK university pathways and US options via ONCAMPUS/CATS. Facilities include dedicated blocks, a Science Lab, a Prep Room, a School Clinic, a Girls Hostel, outdoor study spaces, and extensive sports facilities including pools, courts, and pitches.

Fees

Annual tuition at Lekki British School ranges from NGN 4,000,000 for 2026/27.

Application and registration fees

- Application / admission form: NGN 50,000. A registration payment of NGN 50,000 is required to process an application.
- Acceptance fee: An acceptance fee is required to secure a place and must be paid by the date stated on the offer/acceptance letter; the specific amount is set in the offer and is not published in the school's public admission documents.

Tuition fees (summary and estimated ranges)

- Official, itemised tuition fees by individual year group (per-term and per-year amounts) are not published in the school's openly available fee documents. Independent, recent market reports and school-fees guides for Lagos place Lekki British School in the premium fee band. The following estimates reflect 2025/2026 reporting and 2026 summaries used by multiple independent education and local news sources:
- Day students (estimated annual range): NGN 4,000,000 – NGN 8,000,000 per year. Estimated per-term equivalent (three terms): approx. NGN 1,300,000 – NGN 2,700,000 per term.
- Boarding students (estimated annual range): NGN 6,000,000 – NGN 9,000,000 per year. Estimated per-term equivalent (three terms): approx. NGN 2,000,000 – NGN 3,500,000 per term.

- Note on year groups: specific per-year-group (for example: preschool, primary years, lower secondary, IGCSE years, A‑level years) fee tables are not published in the school's public materials; the figures above are market estimates used by local school-fee surveys and press coverage and differ between sources.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Places are offered on receipt of the required acceptance payment by the date stated on the offer letter. The school's admission documentation describes the acceptance-payment requirement tied to the offer letter.
- The school operates by academic sessions and entry streams across the year (multiple entry/stream dates are published for each session). Independent reporting and regional practice indicate tuition is billed termly (three terms per academic year) for British-curriculum schools in Lagos; many local fee summaries for Lekki British School present per‑term and per‑session figures in that context. Exact invoice deadlines, late‑payment penalties, sibling discounts, and installment options are set in the official fee letter/invoice issued to parents and are not provided in the publicly posted admission PDFs.

Boarding fees

- The school provides boarding facilities. A separate boarding charge applies in addition to tuition; independent sources estimate boarding to be materially higher than day‑student tuition (see the boarding estimates above). The school's boarding facilities are described in its Boarding Experience materials, but a public boarding‑fee table or hostel price list is not published.

Other costs and levies (typical items parents should expect to budget for)

- Uniforms: required and charged in addition to tuition. Multiple school-fee guides list uniform costs as a regular separate item for Lagos British schools.
- Examination fees: Cambridge/IGCSE/A‑level examination fees are charged separately by the exam body and/or the local Cambridge centre; these are an additional cost to parents. The British Council / Cambridge fees schedules show exam charges apply per subject and are billed separately.
- Textbooks, workbooks, stationery and science practical levies: usually charged in addition to tuition; many independent fee breakdowns for comparable schools list these as separate charges.
- Meals, transport, PTA levy, technology/sports levies, development/capital levies and medical/first‑aid levies: commonly added as separate items in fee bills for premium Lagos schools and appear in independent fee summaries for Lekki British School and like schools. These items are typically shown on the school's fee invoice.

Refunds and cancellations

- The school's published admission documents require payment of the acceptance fee to secure a place; they do not publish a full public refund policy or specific refund amounts for application, registration or acceptance payments. Parents should expect application/registration payments to be treated as non‑refundable in many independent school practices, and acceptance / deposit refund rules to be specified in the offer letter and the school's formal fee policy. The admission materials make clear the acceptance fee must be paid by the date on the offer letter to guarantee a place.

Fee payment options

- The school's public admission PDFs and pages do not list bank account details or a comprehensive list of accepted payment methods. In practice across Lagos private British schools, the commonly available payment methods are bank transfer/direct deposit to the school's designated account, online card payments via a school payments portal or payment gateway, POS/card at the accounts office, and occasionally cheques; many contemporary school fee policies for comparable schools list these methods. For exact accepted methods (bank account details, online portal links or card acceptance) the school's accounts office or the invoice in the offer pack is the formal source.

Summary of availability and important notes

- What is published by the school (directly, in its admission PDFs): the application/registration charge (NGN 50,000) and the requirement that an acceptance fee be paid by the date stated on an offer to secure a place.
- What is not published by the school in public materials: a full, itemised fee schedule showing tuition by year group (per term and per year), explicit boarding tariffs, and a public, line‑by‑line refund policy. Independent market and press reports provide the tuition and boarding ranges quoted above for 2025/2026–2026; those estimates vary between outlets and are presented here as ranges for planning.

Admissions

Admissions
1. Obtain an application form (N50,000.00) or complete an online form at lekkibritishschool.org. This initiates the admissions process. Ensure the information provided is accurate and complete. The application form is the first step toward securing a place at Lekki British School. 2. Submit completed application with the required documents. Photocopies of academic records from the most recent school are required. For Year 7, provide the final term report; for Years 8–10, provide the final term report and a character/behavioral reference letter from the previous school. Also submit a photocopy of the birth certificate, a photocopy of the international passport, and two recent passport photographs. 3. Decide when convenient to take the assessment and inform the school. The assessment will be scheduled after the application has been reviewed. Applicants should notify the school of their preferred assessment date. The assessment is part of the admissions process. 4. A brief interview of about 30 minutes conducted by the Principal with the candidate and parents in attendance (where possible) is part of the initial assessment. The interview assesses candidate suitability and family context. Where feasible, both the candidate and parents participate in the interview. 5. An offer of provisional admission is made to a successful candidate pending payment of the acceptance fees. The offer remains provisional until the acceptance fees are paid. Once paid, the place is secured for the candidate. 6. The acceptance fees have to be paid by the date indicated on the admission/offer letter in order to secure or guarantee a place. Only the first 60 Year 7 candidates who complete steps 1-6 successfully would secure a place. Payment of the acceptance fees finalizes the admission for those who meet the requirements.
