Fee Breakdown

Fees

Application fees
- There is no application fee to enroll a child at Charles Dickens Primary School (a state "Europaschule" primary school).

Tuition fees by school year / term
- There is no tuition or school fee for attendance: Charles Dickens is a state primary (Europe) school and offers free bilingual education for Years 1–6. No term or annual tuition is charged.

Meals / lunch
- A warm school meal is provided under contract with the caterer GREENs Unlimited. Since 1 August 2019 the midday meal is free for all pupils; a contract with the caterer is required for a child to receive meals. (Any charges related to special services or external caterer arrangements would be handled by the caterer.)

Billing schedule and payment terms (items that are charged)
- Dickens-Förderkreis (the parents' support association that finances native‑speaker lessons, the English–German library and related services) collects an annual membership fee. The Förderkreis debits the membership fee from the parent's bank account at the beginning of each school year; membership normally ends automatically at the end of 6th grade and may be terminated at the end of any school year. The Förderkreis page sets the collection timing but lists the membership as an annual debit rather than a per-term invoice.
- Smaller school charges are collected at set points during the year when required by the teacher or organiser: for example, the official Charles Dickens School planner is charged at the start of the year (EUR 6). Day‑trip and overnight‑trip costs are billed to parents when those activities are organised; overnight trips are intended to be kept to a minimum cost and financial assistance may be possible in certain circumstances. External after‑school club fees and external provider charges are billed directly by those providers.

Boarding / residential provision
- The school does not operate a boarding provision. Charles Dickens is a day primary school (full‑day/"gebundene Ganztagsschule") and does not charge or offer boarding services.

Other costs or fees
- School materials: Parents must supply consumable materials (notebooks, pencils, etc.). Teachers may request a small class contribution at the start of the year to buy shared materials for the class. Textbooks for Years 1–6 are provided free under local education provision.
- Extracurricular clubs and activity fees: Clubs provided by external commercial providers charge a fee; lunchtime and some afternoon activities financed by the Förderkreis are provided without extra charge to participating pupils, but externally run clubs require payment directly to the provider.
- School planner: EUR 6 at the beginning of the year.
- School clothing (optional): The school offers a hooded sweatshirt, T‑shirt and polo shirt with the school logo which may be ordered; prices for these items are set by the supplier and are charged to parents when ordered.
- Class day trips and overnight trips: Day‑trip costs are normally payable by parents. Overnight trip costs are charged to parents and are described as kept to a minimum; assistance may be possible in individual circumstances.

Refund information
- Refund and cancellation terms are handled by the party charging the fee: the Förderkreis manages its annual membership (with yearly termination rules and the ability to request a donation receipt), external club providers and trip organisers handle their own refund policies, and the caterer manages its own meal contracts. Parents seeking refunds or cancellations should use the relevant charging body's published process (the Förderkreis manages membership cancellations at the end of the school year).

Fee payment options
- Förderkreis membership fees are collected by annual debit from the parent's bank account at the start of each school year (SEPA/bank debit as indicated by the Förderkreis).
- Payment methods for other items vary by provider: the school planner and small classroom collections are typically handled directly at school (details provided to parents by class teachers), the meal service is registered and administered through the contracted caterer (ordering/payment arranged through the caterer's customer portal), and external club providers determine their own payment methods. Parents should follow the payment instructions provided by the individual charging body when a charge is issued.

Summary of specific published amounts and where figures are not published
- Published, specific amounts found:
- School planner: EUR 6 (charged at the beginning of each year).
- Midday meal: free for all pupils since 1 August 2019.
- Items described but without a fixed price published on the school or Förderkreis pages accessed here (amounts are set or invoiced by third parties and are not published centrally on the school pages): Förderkreis annual membership amount, prices for school‑logo clothing, prices for external club subscriptions, exact costs for overnight trips, and specific fee schedules for local authority after‑school care (eFöB). The Förderkreis site does state timing and debit procedure for membership fees but does not publish the membership amount on the public membership page.

If you require these specific amounts (for Förderkreis membership, uniform item prices, external club fees or eFöB contributions), those figures are set by the Förderkreis, the external providers or the local authority/hort operator and are not listed as fixed amounts on the school's public parent guide and Förderkreis membership pages accessed here.
