Specific per‑term amounts and the exact invoicing cadence (one annual invoice, termly invoices, or installment options) are not provided in the publicly available fee summaries and are handled in the school's enrolment/billing arrangements.

Other regular costs and extras - Canteen / catering: a school‑run catering option is available at multiple campuses; canteen charges are billed separately from tuition in typical practice. - After‑school activities and workshops (Wednesday Workshops, holiday courses): these extracurricular programmes are offered; fees for these activities vary and are specified per programme or session rather than being included in base tuition. - Uniform and material costs: no uniform fee or compulsory uniform cost is published in the school's public fee statements; material and pedagogical resources are generally indicated as included in the academic offer but any specific supply lists or material charges are handled at campus level.
Refunds and withdrawal / cancellation - No public, detailed refund policy or withdrawal schedule is published alongside the publicly posted annual fee summaries. Refunds, withdrawal penalties, and prorating of fees are governed by the school's enrolment contract and billing terms provided at registration.
Payment methods and options - Public fee summaries list annual tuition amounts and one‑time charges but do not publish exhaustive lists of accepted payment methods. Parents make fee arrangements through the school's admissions and finance teams; common practice for schools of this type is to accept bank transfer and to offer invoicing with possible installment plans, with card payments or other methods managed by the school's billing office. Specific accepted payment methods and any administrative surcharges are provided by the school during registration and on the enrolment invoice.
Notes on published variations within the network - Fees vary significantly by campus and by year group; the network's campus pages present a ‘starting at' annual figure at campus level while third‑party fee aggregators publish detailed per‑grade annual values and list the one‑time entrance and administrative charges. Where a detailed per‑term billing schedule, refund table or payment method list is required, that information is supplied to families in the school's enrolment documentation and billing correspondence.
