Summary of missing or unclear items found in the published materials
- The published 2026–2027 fee schedule gives annual amounts and instalment plans but does not publish explicit per‑term invoices; per‑term amounts above are the result of dividing the published annual figure by three. Specific paid‑term invoice amounts are not printed in the fee schedule. (Annual → per‑term calculations above are arithmetic divisions of published annual totals.)
- The fee schedule lists four different first‑year primary registration fees (€1,050 / €1,100 / €1,150 / €1,200) but does not map each amount to a clearly labelled individual primary year within the PDF. The after‑school annual rates (€990 and €590) are published but the fee schedule does not label each rate unambiguously by section in the same line; therefore both figures are reported as published.
- No explicit published refund, cancellation or pro‑rata reimbursement rules were found in the 2026–2027 fee schedule or in the available school regulations.
