At Pownall Hall School, our fees reflect the quality of education, care and opportunity we provide at every stage, from our Woodland Nursery through to Form 6. Small class sizes, experienced teachers, a broad curriculum and exceptional pastoral care ensure that every child is known, supported and encouraged to thrive.
Fees for the academic year 2026/27 are outlined below by age.
Our Admissions and Business teams are always happy to discuss individual circumstances or answer any questions.
We offer a sibling discount, which applies to children in the Owl Room (2 year olds) up to Form 6:
10% off your second child
15% off your third child
Pownall Hall School also offers a limited number of means-tested bursaries for children in Forms 1-6, to support families for whom full school fees would otherwise be prohibitive. Bursaries are awarded following a confidential assessment process and are intended to widen access to a Pownall education for families who share our values and long-term commitment to the school.
