Deposits

The school asks for an acceptance deposit in the year before your child is due to start at Worth. All deposits will be refunded on the settlement of the final term's account.

In the case of pupils whose parents are resident outside the UK, the deposit will be the equivalent of one senior boarding term's fees. You will also need to consider appointing a guardian.

In the case of pupils whose parents are resident in the UK and those employed by the Crown and living abroad, the deposit will be £750.
