- Important note on who pays each charge:
- "Cuota por servicios" (service fee for complementary services and activities) must be paid by all pupils at enrolment.
- "Cuota de enseñanza" (teaching fee / precio público) is charged for pupils of nationality different to Spanish and must be paid in the instalments shown below.

- Education Infant (3 years)
- Service fee (cuota por servicios): GBP 1,350 (first instalment at enrolment) and GBP 1,160 (second instalment).

The amounts for each instalment are processed according to the centre's schedule. The annual price is subject to taxes required under UK law.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Timing of instalments (2025–2026 academic year):
- Infant: two instalments — first when formalising the matrícula (normally January/February) and the second in November.
- Primary, Secondary and Bachillerato: two instalments — first when formalising the matrícula (normally June/July) and the second in November.
- The "cuota de comedor y vigilancia" (canteen / supervision fee) and related charges are billed and collected on a trimestral basis.

- Payment method and terms:
- Payments are made by bank transfer to the accounts designated for each type of fee. Bank details (as used for enrolment payments) are provided by the centre. The centre may allow personalised payment plans on request and with authorisation of the Consejería; the Consejería may also authorise a tailored payment plan where justified. Grace periods and consequences for late payment are applied as set by the centre and the Ministry (short corrective periods are provided before further action).

Boarding fees

- The Instituto Español Vicente Cañada Blanch operates as a day school and does not offer boarding provision; therefore there are no boarding fees.

Other costs and regular charges

- Canteen (school meals): GBP 5.45 per school day for the standard daily meal. Packed‑lunch service (use of microwave and supervision) costs GBP 1.00 per day for Infant and Primary pupils and GBP 0.30 per day for Secondary pupils. These charges are billed to families as the established canteen / supervision quota.

- School supplies and textbooks: the centre publishes textbook lists for each year; the purchase cost of books and routine classroom materials is a separate parental expense (textbook lists are published for the 2025–2026 course).

- Uniform / dress code: the school requires compliance with the centre's code of dress. There is no separate uniform fee listed as a mandatory school charge in the centre's fee documents for 2025–2026; any purchases of branded items or specific garments are handled outside the formal fee structure.

- Extracurricular activities, trips, examinations and optional services: these may be charged separately on a per‑activity basis and are billed in accordance with the school's policies and the applicable instructions for that academic year. Families will be required to pay the specific fees for optional activities they choose to use.

Refund and cancellation policy

- General rule: amounts paid are not refundable except for arithmetic or payment errors or in exceptional and unforeseeable circumstances expressly authorised by the Consejería / Ministry. There is no routine refund of instalments once paid.

Fee payment options and bank details

- The currently published payment method for enrolment and periodic fees is by bank transfer to the school's designated accounts. The centre publishes separate account details for "cuotas de servicios" and for "cuotas de enseñanza". Example account details published for payments (to be used as payment reference with the pupil's surname):

Late payment and non‑payment

- For the Ministry's public teaching prices, a corrective period for non‑payment is provided; the Consejería and centre may apply the administrative steps described in the applicable instructions, including short extra periods to regularise payment and potential suspension of participation in chargeable activities or non‑continuity for the following academic year in persistent non‑payment cases. The centre also sends written notification and allows the brief remedy periods defined in the instructions.

Reductions and exemptions

- Reductions are available for large families or special circumstances per the Ministry's rules: reductions apply (for example, discounts for multiple siblings enrolled and possible reductions or exemptions for economic hardship), and the Consejería may authorise reductions in exceptional cases. Specific reduction percentages and eligibility rules are set out in the admission and fee instructions for the year.
