- Early-bird pricing (where offered) is time-limited and must be claimed within the school's published early-bird window or within the number of working days stated after the Acceptance Letter is issued.
- SPP is treated as an annual fee; a student joining after term 1 will be charged a pro-rated SPP based on the number of full terms remaining in the school year.
