The employee reduction provision can be large (e.g., a staff reduction percentage is defined in the school procedures).

Outstanding fees must be settled before school reports, certificates or other official documents are issued.

Fee payment options and invoicing

- Primary payment method for tuition and invoiced items: bank transfer to the published account(s); invoices include a reference number and require the pupil name and invoice number in the transfer description.
- Credit card payments are accepted for the application fee; canteen purchases can be paid by cash or bank card on site. Invoiced tuition payments are arranged via bank transfer as per the published bank details.

Notes on amounts and billing frequency

- The listed annual tuition amounts are for the 2026/2027 academic year. Tuition increases between school years are limited by policy (the published maximum increase between two school years is up to 10% unless otherwise stated in contract terms).
- The school publishes annual tuition figures and provides invoicing details; tuition is commonly collected by instalments (monthly instalments are an available billing pattern), while other services (canteen, aftercare, extracurriculars, exam registration) are invoiced separately when applicable. Detailed per‑term invoicing schedules are not published with the annual tuition figures; families should use the annual amounts and the school's instalment option in planning payments.
