Application / Registration fees
- A non-refundable registration / application payment is required to accept an offer and reserve a place. This one-time, non-refundable first installment must be paid within seven days of the school's offer/acceptance and is required before a place is confirmed.

Tuition fees (amounts by year group and per term)
- The school publishes tuition and fee policies but does not publish a public fee table showing specific tuition amounts for each year group or per-term amounts for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years. Specific annual and per-term tuition figures for each year group are not posted in the publicly accessible school materials. Families are required to pay the one-time, non-refundable first installment to reserve a place; the school's published materials do not include a detailed numeric schedule of tuition by year group.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Standard tuition billing is divided into three instalments each academic year: a first instalment in June, a second instalment in September, and a third instalment in December. Your child will not be accepted into the school unless fees are paid up to date according to this schedule.
- The first instalment (the one-time, non-refundable payment) is payable within seven days of receiving the offer to secure the place. The Admission Process instructs that the application/registration fee must be paid into the school account before interview/assessment or acceptance is finalised.

Boarding fees
- The school's published materials do not describe any boarding provision or boarding fees. No boarding programme or boarding fee schedule is listed in the school's public materials.

Transportation / bus fees
- Daily school bus service is available and bus fees vary by area of residence. Bus fees are charged separately from tuition: they differ by pickup area and must be paid at registration for new students or with the first payment for returning students. Specific bus fee amounts by route/area are not published in the publicly available materials.

Uniforms and other compulsory costs
- Uniforms are mandatory. The school prescribes summer and winter uniforms, PE kit, acceptable shoes, and rules on jewellery and veils; families are responsible for providing required uniform items and basic school supplies. The school's policies list the uniform components but do not publish fixed retail prices for uniform items.
- Other costs that may be charged separately (and are not included in base tuition) include fees for specific trips, after-school activities, and special programmes; when such activities apply, the school bills these costs separately. Specific amounts for trips, materials, or extracurricular programme fees are not published in the publicly available materials.

Refunds and cancellations
- The registration / acceptance payment is explicitly non-refundable. No detailed public refund schedule for other fees or tuition (for mid-year withdrawals, partial-term refunds, or other circumstances) is published in the school's publicly available materials.

Payment methods and options
- The admissions and admissions-process pages indicate that the application/registration fee must be paid into the school account when required, but the school's publicly available pages do not list a full set of accepted payment methods (for example, whether credit card, cheque, or local/international bank transfer are accepted). The school's admissions materials provide direct contacts for fee enquiries and payment instructions but do not publish a public payment-method list.

The school's admissions and fees pages indicate these items are handled through the admissions/finance office rather than by a public fee table.
