Fee payment options (as specified in the fee schedules)

Key points to note (summary of the fee mechanics)
- All year groups show: application fee (non‑refundable), inception fee(s) (non‑refundable; reduced sibling rate available), a refundable deposit held while enrolled, annual tuition with an 11‑month standing‑order option, and a 4% upfront‑payment discount if paid by the stated deadline.

Extended Learner Support (EAL/SEN) is charged as a monthly supplement where required.

Brief note on missing payment‑method detail
- The published schedules specify standing order (monthly instalments) and full upfront payment with a discount but do not list explicit accepted payment instruments (for example, credit card, bank transfer or online merchant methods). The fee documents also do not include boarding charges.
