Boarding Fees

State Boarding Fees

LRGS is one of  just 38 state boarding schools in the country.  As such, parents at LRGS do not pay school fees for tuition. 

The only fees payable are for boarding.  Boarding parents pay on average less than a third of the fees payable at independent schools.  

The boarding element is terrific and compares very well to the independent sector
