Prep School Fees

Leweston has rebuilt its fee structure to ensure that, where boarding or extra wrap-around care would help, we have practical options available when you need them. Our fees are designed to be straightforward, with options ranging from occasional overnight flexibility through to fully inclusive international boarding. All fees for 2026/27 are set out below.
