Deposit

- An Acceptance Deposit equal to one half of one term's fees is required when a place is accepted. The Acceptance Deposit is retained until the pupil leaves and is repaid as a credit on the final fee bill (unless donated). A pro‑rata deposit applies to holders of bursary awards. An Additional Deposit may be required where the pupil's normal residence is outside the United Kingdom or where fees are paid from accounts or income outside the UK.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Billing frequency options: Termly in full on the first day of each term, or monthly in ten equal instalments. Annual charges (tuition, buses, lunches etc.) are collected in ten equal instalments on the first day of the month from 1 August to 1 May. Extras (for example trips) are collected on 1 August for the Autumn Term, 1 January for the Spring Term and 1 May for the Summer Term and are added to the existing instalment collections. Invoices are issued by email in advance of the term to which they relate.

Fee payment methods and administrative charges

- Payment by direct debit is the standard method; fees for each term are due as cleared funds by direct debit before the commencement of the term unless a separate arrangement has been agreed. Payment by cheque or by bank transfer is permitted but the School reserves the right to charge an administration fee of GBP 50 each time such a payment is made. Cash payments are not accepted. The School may refuse a payment if it is not satisfied as to the identity of the payer or the source of the funds. Agreements with third‑party payers do not release parents from liability if the third party defaults.

Other costs and extras

- Extras may include charges for educational visits, overseas trips, additional tuition, coach charges, lunches, clothing and equipment, photographs or other items ordered by parents or pupils, and damage where the pupil has caused wilful loss or damage. Extras are billed on the dates noted under the billing schedule. Some financial assistance awards may include support for uniform, lunches, coach transport, essential curriculum materials, exam fees and compulsory school trips.

Boarding

- Boarding is not applicable; the School is a mainstream day school for girls aged 4 to 18 years. No boarding fees apply.

Refunds, cancellations and notice

- Fees are non‑refundable in the ordinary course: fees will not be refunded, reduced or waived for pupil absence through illness, for a shortened Term or extended vacation, for early release before or after public examinations, for temporary closure due to adverse weather, or except in exceptional cases at the sole discretion of the Headmistress. An offer and acceptance made entirely at distance may be cancelled within the statutory 14‑day cancellation period; in such cases Acceptance and Additional Deposits, if paid, will be refunded together with any fees paid pro‑rata for educational services already provided. If parents withdraw a pupil without giving at least one full Term's written notice they will be liable to pay one Term's fees in lieu of notice (special rules apply where a pupil leaves at the end of Year 13). Acceptance and Additional Deposits may be refunded in specified circumstances as set out in the School's terms and conditions.

Summary notes on inclusions

Extras such as trips, additional tuition or optional activities are billed separately on the dates listed under the billing schedule. Bursaries and scholarships are discretionary and any award terms (including what costs they cover) are notified at the time of offer.
