We recognise that parents make many financial sacrifices when choosing us for their children’s education, and we pride ourselves on providing an excellent all-round educational experience that extends well beyond the traditional confines of the classroom.
Our fees represent excellent value for money, especially considering the number of specialist staff and high staff to pupil ratios.

Childcare Vouchers
We accept most childcare vouchers issued by participating employers to offset the fees up to and including the age of 5 and before/after school provision, extra-curricular activities and trips up to the age of 11. Please contact us at fees@oaktreeschools.co.uk if you are looking to set up one of these schemes.
Free Early Years Education Entitlement
Children in our Early Years department will become entitled to receive the Free Early Education Entitlement (FEEE) grant for up to 15 hours of childcare a week from the term after their third birthday up to and including the final term of Upper Kindergarten when they are 4. Some parents will be eligible for the 2 year old funding and would need to provide a code to this effect.
Spreading the cost of fees through School Fee Plan*
We have been working with School Fee Plan, our third party fees collection company with which we have a long-standing relationship, to secure a competitive rate of interest to spread the fees monthly rather than paying in full at the start of each term.
School Fee Plan is helpful for budgeting when juggling these, as well as other, costs as parents avoid the need to pay the full amount in one go. This is a win-win solution as School Fee Plan pays the school in full at the start of each term and our families make monthly repayments. School trips and extra-curricular activities can also be added to the total.
