Application / Registration fee
- Registration fee: EUR 50 per family, payable when beginning the admissions process.

Tuition (annual and per-term) — groups 1–8
- Standard published annual tuition: EUR 1,000 per student per year (applies to all primary year groups, groups 1–8).
- Per-invoice / per-term amount (standard billing practice): invoices are issued twice per year for half the yearly amount; under the EUR 1,000 annual fee this equals EUR 500 per invoice.
- Third-child discount: a 50% reduction on the annual tuition for the third child from the same family.
- Employer-paid rate: when an employer is billed, a higher annual amount is applied (EUR 1,500 per student per year).
- Note on a prior PTA-agreed amount shown in the school guides: the 2024–2025 school guides published an agreed school fee of EUR 400 per student per year and state invoices are issued twice yearly; that figure appears in those guides. (Where multiple published figures appear, the other items above reflect the most recently published school-fee statements.)

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Registration fee is due to start the admissions process. Annual tuition is payable either in full at the start of the year or in instalments.
- Standard invoicing frequency shown in the school guides: twice per year, each invoice equal to half the annual tuition. Parents may also pay the full annual amount in a single payment.
- Specific invoice due dates and late-payment penalties are set out in the school's fee terms and conditions.

Boarding fees
- No boarding provision is offered; the school provides primary day education for children aged 4–12. There are no boarding fees.

Other costs and typical additional charges
- Excursions and field trips: costs for excursions, transport and some field trips are not included in the school fee and require separate payment when organised. Overnight camp for the oldest group (group 8) may incur additional charges.
- Learning materials: the school provides lesson materials; parents may be charged for replacement items (for example, an English reader replacement fee is shown as EUR 10 per reader in the school guide).
- After-school care / before-school care: these services are run by external partners and are billed separately by those providers. Costs for before/after-school care are additional to the school fee.
- Clothing and equipment: there is no school uniform. Children must wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing; gym shoes and gym clothes are required (gym clothes apply from group 3 upward). No uniform fee is charged.

Refunds and cancellations
- Refunds, cancellations and any conditions for partial refunds are governed by the school's published fee terms and conditions. The general school materials and school guides do not set out a standard refund schedule; the full terms and conditions specify the school's refund rules.

Fee payment options
- Billing is by formal invoice. Parents may pay the annual fee in full at the start of the year or via instalments as allowed by the school's billing terms. Specific payment methods (for example, which card types or bank transfer details are accepted) are detailed in the school's fee terms and conditions and are not itemised in the general school guide pages.
