Group School Fees

We recognise that parents make many financial sacrifices when choosing The Oak-Tree Group for their children’s education, and we pride ourselves on providing an all-round educational experience that extends well beyond the traditional confines of the classroom.

Our fees represent excellent value for money, especially considering the number of specialist staff and high staff to pupil ratios.
