Refund and withdrawal policy (fees and notice) - Registration and Enrolment / Re‑enrolment fees are non‑refundable. - A minimum written notice period is required to withdraw a pupil (the standard parental notice requirement is set in the parent contract); failure to provide the required notice will result in fees in lieu of notice. "Fees in lieu of notice" are defined in the contract and will be charged where required. Withdrawing a pupil before the end of the school year will generally produce a refund for the remaining months of tuition, minus any applicable annual‑payment discounts and any fees in lieu of notice where notice requirements are not met. - Fees are normally not refundable for absence due to sickness, shortened terms, school closures or force‑majeure events, except in exceptional circumstances at the school's discretion or where legal obligations require a refund. What tuition covers - Tuition fees include day trips (transport for those trips), most school materials and student medical insurance; they do not include uniforms, textbooks and some external examination fees. Important operational notes - Students with outstanding fees may have their place cancelled for the next academic year. Payments made for examinations or excursions are first applied to settle outstanding tuition before being allocated to the relevant activity. The school enforces late‑payment and collection provisions as set out in the Parent Contract. (End of fees summary.)
