Fees

At SACGS, our Sixth Form offers a highly personalised Post-16 provision designed to support academic progress, vocational development, independence and preparation for adulthood.

Our fee structure reflects the specialist nature of our provision, including small class sizes, flexible pathways, high levels of pastoral support and individualised learning programmes.

We are committed to clear and transparent communication so that families – and where applicable, Local Authorities – fully understand the provision and associated costs.
