Billing schedule and payment terms

- Fees are charged on a termly basis (three terms per academic year). Termly invoices are the normal billing unit.
- A refundable acceptance deposit is required to secure an offered place; the deposit is refunded when the pupil leaves the school (less any sums owed). Published examples of acceptance deposit amounts appear in admissions guidance for the school.

Boarding fees

- King's College School, Wimbledon operates as a day school; there is no full-time boarding provision for pupils. There are therefore no regular boarding-term fees.

Other costs and fees (typical items charged in addition to tuition)

- Additional and variable charges that commonly arise include: school uniform, optional or additional music tuition, instrument hire, examination entry charges, trips and escorted residential visits, specific course materials, and some extracurricular activities. Some items are billed termly in arrears when used. Means-tested bursaries can, in awarded cases, cover some or all of these additional costs.

Refund information

- The acceptance deposit paid to secure a place is refundable when the pupil leaves the school (subject to deduction for outstanding sums). Termly tuition is charged per term and the school's contract and terms and conditions set out the detailed notice and refund arrangements for mid-term withdrawal; deposits are typically the specific refundable item mentioned in public admissions summaries.

Fee payment options

- Independent schools in the UK commonly provide these payment methods and arrangements: bank transfer (BACS/CHAPS/overseas bank transfer), standing order or direct debit, online card payment facilities, and the option to use third-party monthly-instalment providers. Schools also typically issue an invoice or fee statement listing the accepted methods and any card surcharges or instalment-provider terms. (These are the standard methods used by UK independent schools.)

Summary (practical points for parents)

- Expect to pay the non-refundable registration fee on application, a refundable acceptance deposit when you accept an offer, and tuition billed termly (three terms per year). Day tuition rates vary by year group — junior terms are lower than senior terms — with example termly figures shown above. There is no boarding fee because the school is a day school. Budget additionally for uniform, music and trips unless these are specifically covered by a bursary award.
