Fees for new students must be cleared in full before the student may begin. Students who enter after the start of term are charged a full term if enrolled before half term and half a term if enrolled after half term.
- Spaces for new students are only confirmed once registration and enrolment fees are paid. Part payments are allocated first to tuition fees before lunch and clubs. Bank transfers should be received by the due date to avoid late charges.

Payment methods and banking
- School fees are payable in US dollars. Fees should be paid into the school bank account. Bank transfer is the primary method; bank account details are provided for Diamond Trust (DTB) and Stanbic Bank, including a SWIFT code for international transfers. Copies of bank slips for online or bank payments should be emailed to the accounts team or sent via WhatsApp for verification; receipts are issued on request. Cash is accepted at the school office for items such as morning/after care, uniform, clubs, library costs, school trips, and event tickets. Mobile money may be accepted for uniform, library costs, school trips, late pick-up fees, event tickets and some fundraising activities. Cheques from Ugandan bank accounts are accepted. A bounced check fee is applicable.

Late payment and collection terms
- If payment is not made within one week of the due date, a USD 25 late charge applies (unless other arrangements have been made). For every additional day late, a fee of USD 5 will be charged. If fees remain unpaid 21 days after late payment notice, attendance may be suspended until fees (including late charges) are paid. If fees are unpaid 30 days after the due date, the school may no longer hold a space for the child. Prolonged default may result in debt collection and associated costs being charged to the parent; outstanding student work and reports may be withheld.

Refunds and withdrawal notice
- Fees once paid are not refundable. No refund or discount is given if the school is forced to move learning online. One term's notice is required when withdrawing a child; if less than one term's notice is given, fees are due for the following term. If a child is withdrawn after fees have been paid, there will be no refund. To retain a place during an extended period away, term fees are still expected to be paid on time.

Boarding
- Boarding is not applicable; no boarding fees are listed for KCIS Primary.
