Fees

School Tuition Fees – From January 2025

Payment Options

The School offers two options for payment by Direct Debit:

1) One payment per term (i.e. three payments per year) with the full term’s fees due on 1 September, 1 January and 1 May

OR

2) Monthly payments (i.e. twelve payments per year) with fees due on the first day of each month

The School issues termly fee bills in advance of the start of each term. These fee bills include school tuition fees and other extra charges as appropriate such as bus fees, lunch fees and school trips. With the exception of parents who pay for fees in advance, the only acceptable payment method is via Direct Debit.

As per the School’s Terms and Conditions (clause 4.7) in the event of late payment of fees, a penalty fee of 1.5% per month will be charged on a daily basis on fees which remain unpaid.

As the School operates as a charity, the payment of fees via Direct Debit is essential to ensure the School maintains sufficient cashflow, as well as minimising the administration costs which are incurred as a result of chasing the payment of fees.

If you require any further information on the payments of fees, please contact our Fees Officer, Mrs Deana Smith, on 0151 949 9329.

Academic Year 2023-24 Lunch Fees

A discounted charge for half a term’s lunch fees will be available to those pupils in Year 11 and Upper Sixth forms sitting external examinations in the Summer term.

Sixth Form students are permitted to leave the school premises during the day providing they meet their commitments with respect to attendance, punctuality and set work, and also sign in and out at reception. They can therefore choose to make their own arrangements for lunch or eat in the school dining room on a day-to-day basis using contactless payment.

Merchant Taylors’ offers a comprehensive service of buses and coaches each morning and afternoon from a wide catchment area ranging from Warrington, Widnes, Wigan and South Liverpool up to Parbold, Ormskirk, Formby and Southport.

This service is operated by the school in partnership with a local, well-respected travel company and is available for the use of all our students, aged 4-18. We are always happy to consider running new routes if there is sufficient demand from a particular location.
