There is also a college (sixth form) that further educates 16-18 year olds, however this is not a mandatory part of their education service. Approximately 45% of all students are from over-seas with the student body representing over 36 contries, including:
Germany ,Russia ,U.S.A. ,Argentina ,Nigeria ,South Africa ,China ,Korea andJapan ,Kazakhstan with British students forming the other 55%. Fees are roughly 9,000 pounds sterling per annum for day pupils and 18,000 pounds sterling per annum for boarders. Bursaries and scholorships are available to provide between a 10% and 30% discount.
