- Students admitted before half term must pay the full term's fees; those admitted after half term are charged 50% of that term. Parents may request a payment plan before the published cut‑off dates for each term. Late or unpaid fees can lead to exclusion from lessons and, in some cases, loss of place.

Boarding fees

Specific route prices were published in the school's transport charge schedule.

Other costs and typical additional fees
- Uniforms: a uniform fee is charged separately; the school has a uniform policy and a separate charge for uniform items. Participation in after‑school clubs incurs separate fees. Lunch fees are optional and non‑refundable; the school issues an annual lunch cost schedule.
- Assessment, registration and caution fees are itemised above and are additional to tuition. Exam charges for senior students are included in the USD fee component where applicable.

Refund information
- The caution (security) deposit is refundable after a student's permanent exit clearance and subject to deductions for outstanding fees, unreturned school property, or damage. Apart from the caution deposit, most enrolment and tuition‑related charges are non‑refundable; assessment and specified term/transport/lunch sums are non‑refundable per the school's published policy.

Fee payment options
- The school recommends bank deposit or direct bank transfer into the school's accounts at DTB (Dollar and UGX accounts are provided). Parents must provide the deposit slip or electronic proof of transfer to the school; the school does not accept cash payments. Account details (account names and UGX/USD account numbers) are supplied in the school handbook and billing communications.

Notes on availability of up‑to‑date per‑grade figures
- The school publishes a detailed downloadable fee schedule for each academic year; the most recent publicly‑accessible, itemised per‑grade numbers located in open sources were published for academic year 2022/2023 and are listed above. The school's student & parents policy handbook and transport charge schedule include the formal billing schedule, mandatory charges (assessment, registration, caution) and the bank payment instructions that apply across years. For the current academic year (2025/26 or 2026/27) parents should rely on the school's official published fee schedule and invoice for exact per‑grade term and annual amounts and any currency split between UGX and USD.
