Tuition fees by school year and per term (Winford Bilingual Primary School — Haarlem, academic year 2025–2026)

- Annual tuition (all year groups at the Haarlem bilingual location): EUR 19,800 for the 2025–2026 school year. This annual tuition applies uniformly across year groups at the Haarlem bilingual campus.

- Per-term breakdown (standard three-instalment schedule):
- If the tuition is split into three equal instalments with the school's instalment option, the base third of the annual fee is EUR 6,600 (EUR 19,800 ÷ 3). The school charges an additional 3% administration/interest when using the three-instalment option; applying that 3% to the annual fee raises the total to EUR 20,394 and makes each instalment EUR 6,798. Instalment due dates are August 1, November 15 and February 1.
- If the tuition is paid in a single payment by the stated deadline, the payable amount is EUR 19,800 (no instalment surcharge). The one‑payment deadline for the 2025–2026 year is before 1 August 2025.

- Pro-rated tuition: Tuition is pro-rated based on the child's actual start date if enrolment occurs after the school year begins. Depending on the enrolment date, instalment arrangements may still be possible (with the same additional administration/interest if instalments are used).

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Application fee is invoiced when the application is received; the application will be processed only after the registration fee (EUR 550) is paid. Enrolment following a provisional offer requires payment of the EUR 1,000 enrolment fee within three weeks of acceptance.
- Standard tuition payment options and deadlines for the 2025–2026 year:
- Single annual payment: full annual tuition (EUR 19,800) payable before 1 August 2025.
- Three instalments: three payments due on 1 August, 15 November and 1 February; choosing instalments incurs a 3% administration/interest charge (see per-term figures above). For the instalment option the school requests a direct debit mandate.
- Acceptance window and offer timing: after processing the application, a provisional offer is issued; parents have 10 business days to accept or decline. Failure to accept within that period withdraws the provisional offer. The enrolment fee must be paid within three weeks of acceptance to secure the place.
