School Fees
1. Fee Setting Policy:
As an independent School with charitable status, Strathallan receives no Government support and is dependent on fee income to cover its operating costs.
Each year, the Board of Governors reviews the fees for the following academic year, mindful of its responsibility to ensure the continuing financial stability of the School and its desire to ensure that the School remains well maintained and conducive to high levels of academic and extra-curricular achievement and pastoral support.
Annual fee increases are kept to a minimum consistent with the School’s cost base, the recognition that we wish to attract and retain the highest quality staff and the need to provide a cash surplus to allow continued development of the School’s facilities. It remains the case that the cost inflation of areas that significantly affect independent schools is well above the standard rate of inflation so often mentioned in the press. In particular, utilities, construction and maintenance have been increasing well above the general rate of inflation and the effect of the Minimum Wage increases on Support Staff Salaries.
