Steiner schools in the UK operate almost exclusively in the independent sector. School fees provide only significant source of income the school receives.
In Norwich Steiner School, we offer 5 full days (9am-3.30pm) for all children, regardless of age.
- In Kindergarten, parents may ‘opt-in’ to one or more afternoons of kindergarten and pay an additional fee per afternoon or year.
- In School, the fee is inclusive, but parents have the option to take younger children out on one or two afternoons a week should they so wish. There is no reduction in fee if children are taken out of school on these afternoons.
Afternoons when parents may take younger children out of school:
Cedar – Class 1/2 (age 6-8) – Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays
Apple – Class 3/4 (ages 8-10) – Fridays
Fees from January 2026
Upper School £11,834 pa (£14,200 inc. VAT)
Lower School £11,417 pa (£13,700 inc. VAT)
Kindergarten £7,380 pa (for 5 mornings) (£8,856 inc. VAT)
Afternoon kindergarten £30.73/session (including VAT)
INCREASES – Norwich Steiner School increases fees incrementally year on year. Upper school fees are generally calculated to increase at the average rate of inflation, with Lower school and Kindergarten fees being linked to upper school fees so that the gap between lower and upper school remains consistent.
