Our Fees, in Full
Most local Islamic schools will tell you their fees when you ring. We'd rather you knew before you did. Here is our complete 2025–26 fee list, including VAT, in plain text you can read, compare and check.

How Payment Works
- Three termly instalments. Fees are paid termly, in three instalments across the year, as shown in the table.
- Registration fee: £100 per child, payable when you apply. It is non-refundable, and it is the only upfront payment. There is no separate deposit.
- Sibling discount: £250 when more than one of your children attends.
- Referral reward: £250 when a family you refer joins the school (subject to terms and conditions).
What your fees cover
Tuition fees cover the full taught day: the National Curriculum, Islamic Studies, the Qur'an and Hifdh programme, Arabic, Latin, and verbal and non-verbal reasoning lessons. All of it sits inside school hours, so there's no separate madrasah fee on top of school fees. Optional extras such as clubs, wraparound care and the Summer School are booked separately; current details are on the wraparound care page. Uniform is bought separately. See the uniform page.
Bursaries and scholarships
We don't offer bursaries or scholarships. Instead, we put our effort into keeping the published fee within reach, roughly £350–£365 a month across the year including VAT. We publish it in full, so families can plan with real numbers rather than apply and hope.
Withdrawal and the fees policy
If you withdraw your child, we ask for a full term's written notice. Fees are non-refundable and non-transferable, and late payment may incur administration fees. The full detail lives in our fees policy:
Fees FAQ
Do the fees include VAT?
The fee list is set exclusive of VAT, and 20% VAT applies to independent school fees. That's why we publish both columns: Years 1–2 come to approximately £4,200 per year including VAT, and Years 3–6 to approximately £4,380. The inclusive figure is the one to budget on.
Can I pay monthly?
Fees are payable in three termly instalments across the year, as shown in the table above. If you're working out a monthly equivalent for budgeting, the VAT-inclusive annual fee spreads to roughly £350–£365 a month over twelve months.
Is there a deposit?
No. The only payment before an offer is the £100 registration fee, paid per child when you apply. It is non-refundable, but there is no additional deposit at offer or registration stage.
Is there a discount for siblings?
Yes. A £250 sibling discount applies when more than one of your children attends Daffodil. There is also a £250 referral reward when a family you introduce joins the school, subject to terms and conditions. Ask the office how both are applied.
Do you offer bursaries or scholarships?
No. We keep our published fees as low as we can for every family rather than discounting for a few, and we publish them in full, including VAT, so you can compare us accurately with other schools.
What notice do I need to give if my child leaves?
A full term's written notice. Fees already paid are non-refundable and non-transferable, and late payments may incur administration fees. The fees policy, downloadable above, sets out the exact terms.
What extra costs should I expect?
Uniform is bought separately. Optional provision (clubs, after-school care, the Summer School) is booked and charged separately, with current details on the relevant pages. Within the taught day itself, the Qur'an and Hifdh programme is part of the curriculum, not a paid extra.
What do nursery places cost?
Daffodil Nursery is priced separately and offers both government-funded hours and non-funded places for children aged 2 to 5. Current rates and funding routes are explained on the nursery funding and fees page. Start there, then contact us with your child's age.
