Education at St. Anselm's is free. There is no charge for activities which take place wholly or mainly during school hours in term time, except for instrumental music tuition and/or loan of instruments, unless it is part of a public examination or National Curriculum.

Except in the case of activities which fulfil any requirement of a syllabus for a prescribed public examination or of the National Curriculum, the cost of activities which take place wholly or mainly outside normal school hours must be met in full by parents. From time to time the cost may be reduced by fundraising or by subsidy from school funds.
