Application fees
- An application fee is required when submitting an application form; the form is completed and submitted to the School Cashier with the application payment.

Registration / enrolment fees
- A registration (enrolment) fee is charged after an applicant is approved for admission and entered on the school register. This registration fee is non-refundable.

Tuition fees (structure and how they are billed)
- Tuition is charged on an annual basis and for convenience split into three termly accounts (three installments per year). Fees for each term are payable in advance.
- The school communicates the specific tuition amounts for each year group to parents/guardians before the beginning of each academic year; the amounts themselves are not published in the school regulations.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Each term's fees must be paid in advance, at the latest one week before the first day of the term for which they are due.
- A student will not be allowed into class or permitted to sit internal or external examinations if fees have not been paid in full by the deadline. Academic records, reports and certificates will be withheld until accounts are fully settled.
- If fees remain unpaid after exclusion from class for two weeks, the student will be removed from the school register; re-admission requires a new application.
- To withdraw a student a minimum of one term's notice is required; if notice is received after a term has commenced, fees for the remainder of that term remain payable. No reductions or refunds are made for withdrawal, dismissal or absence.

Boarding fees
- The school's published materials describe Nursery, Primary and Secondary provision and do not publish any boarding program or boarding fee schedule. The school operates as a day school in the publicly available descriptions.

Other costs and fees (uniforms, transport, exams, supplies, trips)
- Uniform: Students must wear the school uniform specified in the published uniform specifications; costs for uniforms are the responsibility of parents/guardians. Uniform specifications are published as downloadable documents.

Refund information
