Billing schedule and payment terms

- Annual tuition is divided into three equal parts and charged termly; each term's fees are invoiced and fall due for payment on the first day of the relevant term. Supplemental charges are invoiced separately and are payable by the date stated on each supplementary invoice. Payment by cheque or direct bank transfer is required on or before the first day of term. Non-payment may lead to refusal of attendance, withholding of references, and other contractual remedies. Interest on overdue sums may be charged at 2.5% per year above the School's bank base rate, calculated daily from the due date. A term's notice (or payment of a term's fees in lieu of notice) is required to withdraw a pupil; failure to provide the required notice leads to fees becoming payable as a debt.

Refunds and cancellation / notice provisions

- The deposit is held as part of the School's funds until it is credited without interest to the final payment of fees or other sums due on the pupil's leaving; the deposit is refunded after completion of the final term where applicable. The administration/acceptance fee is non-refundable in general. If an accepted place is withdrawn before the pupil starts, a term's notice is required or a term's fees in lieu of notice will be payable; the deposit and administration/acceptance fee are not refundable in most circumstances, except where specific conditions in the School's terms allow a refund (for example if the School fills the vacancy created by withdrawal). The School's terms set out circumstances (such as exclusion or required removal) affecting forfeiture of deposit and other sums.

VAT and inclusions

- VAT and applicable taxes are included in the stated fees where required by law. Termly tuition fees (for the categories that state this) include lunch; other items listed as ‘other charges' are payable in addition to tuition.

Summary of payment methods

- Accepted payment methods: direct bank transfer and cheque. The School issues invoices termly and for supplemental charges; payments are due by the date specified (standard due date: first day of term for termly tuition invoices). Interest and recovery costs apply for overdue payments.
