The application (assessment) fee is not deductible from tuition if a place is accepted.

Enrolment / re-registration / deposit rules

- New-student enrolment (admission) fee: the school may charge an enrolment/admission fee up to a percentage of tuition as a deposit; the fact sheets note enrolment fees may be charged (up to 10% of the tuition fee) and are non-refundable but deductible from the first term fees. Re-enrolment (existing students) re-registration fees are stated as up to 5% of tuition or AED 500 (whichever is higher), non-refundable and deductible from first term fees. For existing students, a re-registration fee of AED 2,000 is charged in the third-term invoice and is then offset against the following academic year's Term 1 invoice. Places are secured only once the deposit has been provided to the school.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Invoices are issued on a term basis (school issues term invoices; the re-registration fee appears on the third-term invoice). Annual tuition is shown above; standard practice for the school is to invoice across the three academic terms.

- Payment terms: accepted methods include cash, cheque (payable to Safa British School) and bank transfer to the school's AED account (RAK Bank). Bank account details and the remittance email (accountant@safabritishschool.com) are provided for transfers. Credit-card acceptance is not listed among the standard options.

Refund information (tuition and deposits)

- Application fee: refundable only if the school does not offer a place; non-refundable if a place is offered and declined.

- Deposits, enrolment or re-registration fees follow the KHDA school-fees framework: deposits or admission/re-registration fees are generally non-refundable if the student chooses not to return or not to take up an offered place, except under specified circumstances (for example, family relocation). When a tuition refund applies, the KHDA framework provides the calculation method (deductions based on attendance duration; the fee-per-month value is calculated by dividing the annual tuition by 10). The school references the KHDA fee framework for its refund policy.

Summary of payment channels and bank details

- Accepted payment methods: cash, cheque (to ‘Safa British School'), bank transfer to the school's AED account at RAK Bank. The RAK Bank account name, account number, SWIFT and IBAN are provided for fee transfers; remittance notifications are requested to the school's accounts email.

Note: all figures above are stated for the academic year September 2025 – August 2026 and are presented as published for that year.
