Spring Intensive fees 2025

Summer Intensive fees 2025

Payments

• Fees need to be paid in full before the start of the course.
• Once the School offers you a place, our Intensive Course Team will send you a payment link.
• If you’ve applied for financial assistance, we’ll assess your application and will write to you to confirm whether you’re entitled to it, and the percentage contribution you’ll receive towards your fees.
• We’ll then send you instructions on how to make payment with your financial assistance discount code if you have one.

How to apply for financial assessment

If you have indicated on the application form that you would like to apply for financial assistance, a financial support application form will be made available to you. Please note, this form will be available only after the student has been offered a place on the course.

The financial support application form requires supporting tax returns from the preceding tax year, March 2022 payslips and/or equivalent proof of annual earnings. If the tax return from the preceding tax year is not finalised at the date of application, then we will require the estimated annual taxable household income and a copy of the prior year’s tax return.

Application fee

There is an application fee of £40 for each Intensive Course. Application fees cover the administrative work involved in processing applications and the fees charged to The Royal Ballet School from third-party software providers. Application fees are non-refundable.

Withdrawals and Refunds

Spring (White Lodge) and Summer Intensive

Please note, the ‘days before’ period is measured from the date of the first day of the course, not each individual day of teaching. For example, if you are booked on the Friday of a course that starts on a Monday, you must still give 30 days’ notice before the Monday to receive a 90% refund.
