Fee Structure (2023/24)
Wilson's Hospital School stopped charging fees for tuition in 2011 and moved from being a private, fee-paying school to being a voluntary secondary (public) school in the free education system. This has substantially broadened access to our school, and we are very proud of this. Very competitive fees do still apply to students who wish to board and to day students who wish to avail of extra services, outlined below.

4. Voluntary Contribution 2023/24
If students do not opt to board, or avail of Day Boarder or Day Pupil status, the only way that Wilson’s can finance a broad educational experience for our students is by supplementing the grants that we receive from the Department of Education with financial contributions made by parents and guardians.
The money we receive is spent on everything from heating, cleaning, bus costs, insurance, computers, photocopying, lockers and equipment for sports, music and drama. And without your help we would not be able to provide these services for our students to the level you would expect.
The school (which is a charity) is able to reclaim a certain amount of tax from the Revenue Commissioners on all contributions which exceed €250 per year. This is the equivalent of €21 per month and is the minimum level at which we can fully fund the school.
We would welcome any level of contribution, but have set the suggested minimum at€400, payable by 1st August 2023 and 1st January 2024
