Bosworth charges up to £40,890 a year making it one of the most expensive schools in the UK. The school offers scholarships, one being the ‘Scholarship Of Excellence’, awarded to those who go onto study at Oxbridge. This scholarship consists of the previous two years of course and accommodation fees being reimbursed upon attendance of the first semester. Although typically scholarships are worth 30% of the course and/ or boarding fees. Yet places are exclusive in the school as is publicity due to a large number of UHNWI and celebrities children attending.

The ‘School Of Princes’ dominates the roads St. George’s Avenue and Barrack Road, with buildings for education and boarding being located on both. With the main building being the imposing Newton Building, Bosworth is provided with a magnificent aesthetic presence, unlike any other open campus school site. Opposite the Newton Building is the racecourse, an 118 acre open space which was historically a horse racing track up until 1904, now containing floodlit rugby pitches, football pitches, basketball courts, a field-athletics track in the summer, tennis courts, a cricket pitch and facilities for many more sports which the school use for training, fixtures and P.E lessons.
