Clear, transparent fees so you know exactly what your child's education includes.
Comparing online school fees is rarely as simple as comparing two numbers. Two schools can list similar prices while offering very different amounts of live teaching, pastoral support, and curriculum access. This guide covers what to look for so you can compare fairly, as one part of the bigger decision covered in our guide to choosing the right online school.
A low advertised fee can look attractive, but it is worth checking what it actually covers. Some schools charge separately for live lessons, exam entry, subject options, or learning support. Others include everything in one clear fee. Neither approach is automatically better, but knowing which one you are looking at makes comparison much easier.
Asking these questions directly, and getting a clear answer, tells you more than the headline price alone.
At Queen’s Online School, we aim to keep our fee structure clear and straightforward. Our fees are designed to include:
Because fee structures can vary by year group and pathway, we recommend speaking directly with our admissions team for a full breakdown for your child’s specific needs. This also gives you the chance to ask about payment plans, sibling arrangements, and enrolment timing. If pastoral support and wellbeing are your main concern rather than price, our guide on online school for an anxious child covers this in more detail.
Specialist subject teachers deliver live lessons as part of the standard fee.
Included as standard, not charged as an add-on.
A structured British curriculum from Primary through to Sixth Form.
Coordinated directly with parents, as part of the pupil's learning plan.
Our admissions team can walk you through exactly what's included for your child's year group.
Speak to the team directly about payment plans, sibling arrangements, and enrolment timing.
When comparing schools, it can help to ask: for this fee, how much live teaching, pastoral care, and teacher access am I actually getting? A school with a slightly higher fee but significantly more live contact time and included support may represent better value than a lower headline price with limited inclusions.
We believe families deserve to know exactly what they are paying for, without hidden extras or guesswork. Our admissions team is always available to walk you through a full breakdown for your child’s year group, covering live lessons, pastoral support, and curriculum access, so you can make your decision with confidence.
If pastoral support and wellbeing are your main concern rather than cost, our guide on online school for an anxious child may be more relevant.
This keeps the same cross-linking pattern as the anxious page (which links out to fees), so the two pages point at each other. Want me to add this to the fees markdown file so it’s saved alongside everything else?
