The School fee for 2024-25 is £24,500. Fees may be paid by monthly Direct Debit. There are some costs which are not covered by fees. These include lunches, uniform, sports’ and PE kit, external examination entry fees and individual music and LAMDA tuition. Whilst the majority of curricular trips and Field Days are covered by fees, some non-academic trips will need to be paid for. We do all that we can though, to make as many of our trips as possible accessible to all of our students.

Scholarships are awarded to students in recognition of their excellence at entry in a given field (namely academic, art, drama, design technology, music and sport). They are awarded irrespective of parental income. Historically, we awarded a number of large scholarships (up to 50%) but we now award a greater number of smaller scholarships to talented students. While up to 50% is still possible, awards will now typically be smaller; a 20% award in 2024 was given to some of our very best candidates. Scholarships come from fee income, and so awarding large numbers of high awards pushes fees up for everyone. Through our current approach, we are able to apportion more of our available funds to supporting our bursary students thus ensuring our community remains as socio-economically diverse as possible, which in turn benefits all students.
Students can apply for up to two scholarships and those applying for a bursary can also apply for scholarships.
For entry at 10+, 11+ and 13+ and Sixth Form, all students are considered for an Academic Scholarship. Additionally, students may apply for Scholarships in: Music, Sport, Drama, Art and Design Technology.

The John Whitgift Foundation provides the vast majority of our bursary support, amounting to over 10% of our total fee income each year. However, we have more students applying than this fund can support, so Trinity has grown its own dedicated bursary fund (The Trinity Bursary Fund) which increases the number of awards we can make each year. All bursary applications and awards are assessed through The John Whitgift Foundation.
Bursaries are means tested and are awarded on assessment of the financial circumstances of parents. A bursary application must be indicated with your application to the School, and Bursary assessment forms should be completed before the entrance examination is taken.
As the number of applications for bursaries each year exceeds the funds available, bursary assessments will be offered to those families whose children perform exceptionally well in the examination process. However, please note that a bursary assessment does not mean that a place with a bursary will ultimately be awarded.
The Fees Office at the Whitgift Foundation calculates the bursary award for all students.
