The fees include the cost of most stationery and textbooks, games and school societies, but exclude a small number of items, such as public examination and UCAS entry fees. Individual music tuition is provided at an extra charge. In addition, an entrance fee of £130 is payable on the first term’s account for those who have been accepted for admission. School lunches are compulsory for Lower First and Upper First boys only and are invoiced termly at a fixed price of £3.85 per day for 2015-2016.  The school lunch cost for 2016-2017 to be confirmed.

A deposit of £800 (day students) or £2,500 (UK boarding students) or one term's fees (overseas boarding students) is payable on acceptance of a place at Whitgift. This will be retained in full until the pupil leaves, on completion of his full School Course, when it will be refunded less any balance owing to the School. Once a place has been accepted, if a boy is withdrawn at any point before joining Whitgift, a full term's fees will be due, in addition to the loss of the deposit.

The Entrance Examination fee which accompanies the Application Form is £100 for UK students and £130 for overseas students. If late applications are accepted, an extra £20 will be charged.

The Governors reserve the right to review or alter fees at any time and with a notice period of half a term.
