Upper & Lower School Fees
Fees 2024 - 2025
The government has announced that, effective from 1 January 2025, VAT at a rate of 20% will be applied to Independent School fees.
We have taken proactive measures to manage this additional charge in a way that reduces the impact on our families. Effective from January 2025, Hazelwood School will only be passing on a 10% increase to parents.
This decision reflects our commitment to support our school community over the long term. We believe this approach is a fair and balanced solution that ensures we can continue to provide the highest standards of education and care whilst acknowledging the financial pressures faced by many of our families.

School Fees in Advance
Hazelwood offers parents of pupils in Reception upwards (not applicable for Nursery fees) the opportunity to pay fees in advance via our Composition Fees Scheme.
Originally established to allow grandparents to contribute funds and reduce the value of their estate—thereby potentially lessening inheritance tax—the scheme continues to provide financial benefits.
Currently, the Composition Scheme offers a 3% discount on prepaid fees.
Details are included below or from our Director of Finance, via [email protected]
Nursery Fees
Nursery fees are paid for per session and vary depending on the age of your child.
Nursery fees can be paid by direct debit either monthly or termly dependant on the contract type.
