Application / Registration fees
- The Dallington College Double Bac (Year 12–13) charges a registration (matrícula) fee for new students of EUR 870. - No separate, publicly published application or registration fee for Early Years, Primary or Key Stage 3/4 is published on the school's admissions or information pages.
Tuition fees by year group (published items only)
- Double Bac (Year 12–13): the published price is EUR 1,045 per month. This is the only per‑month tuition figure published for a specific year group. Registration for this programme (new students) is EUR 870.
- Early Years, Primary and Secondary (Years other than Double Bac): the school does not publish a full, year‑group tuition schedule on the publicly available Admissions/Information pages. There is no publicly posted per‑term or per‑year tuition table for Pre‑Nursery / Nursery / Reception / Years 1–11 on the school pages reviewed.
Extra costs and regular ancillary fees
- Extracurricular activities: many activities are charged per term; typical published examples include fees of EUR 120–185 per term for clubs such as rugby, tennis, padel, basketball, arts and others (specific activity prices vary by activity). The extracurricular programme document lists the per‑term prices for each activity.
- Summer school / holiday programmes: published weekly prices include EUR 210 per week (half‑day for infants) and EUR 290 per week (full day with food) for summer school weeks; optional intensive modules (conversation, maths/English support, tennis) are listed at EUR 75 per week; some sport intensives (football, tag rugby) at EUR 45 per week; extras such as Breakfast Club and Play Club are also priced per week. These summer programme figures are published in the school's summer programme documents.
- Uniforms and clothing: the school uses an external supplier (La Casita de Mitos Roca) and provides a Uniform Buying Guide; uniform items are purchased through the supplier and pricing is set by that supplier. Specific uniform item prices are not listed on the school pages themselves but the supplier and buying‑guide links are provided.
- School bus / transport: a school‑bus service is offered and routes are stated (several Madrid zones). Published pages direct families to request route and price information; specific bus fares are not published on the public route information page.
- Catering / school meals: the school publishes an organic menu and describes monthly menus and personalized options for allergies/intolerances; meal pricing is not shown on the menu page.
- External exam / assessment fees and other potential third‑party fees: the Double Bac page references official A‑Level programmes and preparation for external assessments; however explicit charges for exam entry or external assessment fees are not published on the public pages reviewed.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- No published, itemised billing schedule (for example: termly dates and amounts, number of instalments, or a detailed payment calendar) was located on the public Admissions or Information pages. The admissions pages provide contacts and the academic calendar is published, but a school‑wide, public statement of billing frequency and formal payment terms was not found in the materials reviewed.
Boarding / residence fees
- Dallington School operates distinct Infant and Primary/Secondary day sites and publishes day‑time timetables. No boarding or residential provision is offered or advertised on the school pages reviewed; therefore there are no boarding fees applicable.
Refunds and cancellations
- No publicly posted, detailed refund or fee‑cancellation policy (for tuition, registration, or other core school fees) was located in the public information reviewed. The school's legal notice indicates general terms about modification of information but does not set out an explicit refund policy on the public pages examined.
Fee payment options (methods)
- The school's public pages and PDFs reviewed do not publish a detailed list of accepted payment methods (for example, bank transfer, credit card, direct debit). No definitive, public statement of accepted payment methods was found in the admissions or fees‑related documents accessed.
Summary of coverage and gaps (concise)
- Published, specific tuition figures available on the public pages are limited: the Double Bac programme shows a registration fee of EUR 870 and a published monthly tuition figure of EUR 1,045; extracurricular activities and summer programmes include numerous per‑term and per‑week prices as noted above. - A comprehensive, publicly posted tuition schedule covering Early Years, Primary and all Secondary year groups by term or by full academic year was not found on the school's publicly available Admissions/Information pages. Likewise, a formal public statement of billing schedule, detailed refund policy, and accepted payment methods was not located in the materials reviewed.
If you require these missing line‑items (for example: a full per‑term/per‑year tuition table for Early Years–Year 11, or formal payment terms), those specific items are not published on the public pages examined and are not included above. The statements above record all tuition and ancillary fees that are published in the school's public programme pages and downloadable materials that were accessible at the time of review.
