Supplemental charges are invoiced separately and are payable by the date stated on each supplementary invoice. Payment by cheque or direct bank transfer is required on or before the first day of term. Non-payment may lead to refusal of attendance, withholding of references, and other contractual remedies. Interest on overdue sums may be charged at 2.5% per year above the School's bank base rate, calculated daily from the due date. A term's notice (or payment of a term's fees in lieu of notice) is required to withdraw a pupil; failure to provide the required notice leads to fees becoming payable as a debt.
Refunds and cancellation / notice provisions
- The deposit is held as part of the School's funds until it is credited without interest to the final payment of fees or other sums due on the pupil's leaving; the deposit is refunded after completion of the final term where applicable. The administration/acceptance fee is non-refundable in general. If an accepted place is withdrawn before the pupil starts, a term's notice is required or a term's fees in lieu of notice will be payable; the deposit and administration/acceptance fee are not refundable in most circumstances, except where specific conditions in the School's terms allow a refund (for example if the School fills the vacancy created by withdrawal). The School's terms set out circumstances (such as exclusion or required removal) affecting forfeiture of deposit and other sums.
VAT and inclusions

Fees for services already provided up to the time of cancellation must be paid. - Once educational services have commenced, fees are generally not refundable. Cases of serious illness or genuine hardship may be considered on written request. No refund is normally made for absence due to illness, visa refusal (except as specified in the terms), or voluntary discontinuation.
Fee payment methods and practical notes
- Payment methods accepted for college services and exam/proctoring payments include debit or credit card and bank transfer. Cheques and cash are not accepted for some services.

Refunds will be net of card or transfer charges and any foreign-exchange losses.

Sixth Form candidates are interviewed by the Sixth Form Leadership Team.
