Fee Breakdown

Fees
Application and entrance fees

- Entrance (admission) fee: GBP 3,970 (VAT 20% included).
- Facilities maintenance fee: GBP 1,985 (VAT 20% included); this is charged annually and is payable at the start of the school year.

Annual tuition (including boarding) by school section — full year and per-term amounts

- Primary (小学部): GBP 33,000 per year (this amount covers tuition and boarding). Per-term amount (three-term billing) = GBP 11,000 per term.
- Middle (中学部): GBP 36,000 per year (tuition + boarding). Per-term amount = GBP 12,000 per term.
- Senior / Upper (高等部): GBP 37,800 per year (tuition + boarding). Per-term amount = GBP 12,600 per term.

(The school presents the published amounts as annual figures and allows payment by term; the per-term figures above are the annual totals divided into three equal term payments as the school permits termly payment.)

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Standard invoicing and payment windows: invoices for the year/terms are issued at the start of each payment period and the school sets the following timing for invoices and payment deadlines: around early March for April starters, early August for September starters, and early December for January starters. Tuition is payable by the beginning of each term; the school requests that fees be paid by the first week of each term.
- Installment and proration rules:
- Termly payment is available; fees may be paid per term.
- For mid‑year (mid‑academic-year) entry, the school charges pro rata: two‑term entry = two thirds of the annual fee; three‑term entry = one third of the annual fee.
- Facilities maintenance fee is required as a lump annual payment at the start of the school year.

Boarding fees

- Boarding charges are included within the published annual fee figures (the school combines tuition and boarding into the single annual amounts above). The published fee package explicitly includes boarding, laundry, room cleaning and three meals per day (plus snacks/drinks at tea times).
- When a formal separation of “tuition” and “boarding” is required for subsidy or accounting purposes, the school uses an internal split of 80% tuition and 20% boarding.

Other costs and items not included in the published fees

- The published fee package excludes the following additional costs, which parents should budget separately:
- Pocket money and personal spending.
- Optional individual lessons (music, language tuition) requested by the student.
- Costs for certain extracurricular activities (coaches, entry fees, transport, associated meals, weekend trips etc.).
- Commercially‑administered external tests and qualification exam fees (for example IELTS, Cambridge/英検, 漢検 etc.).
- Some course materials and textbooks (notably for the senior/upper school where textbooks and supplementary materials are listed separately).
- Transport costs (school travel / airport transfers) are not covered.

- Uniform: a specific, separate uniform charge is not listed among the fee‑included items in the published fee notice; uniform and similar one‑off kit costs should be treated as a possible additional expense unless stated otherwise in admissions materials.

Refund and cancellation policy

- Entrance (admission) fee is non‑refundable in the event of withdrawing after acceptance.
- Payments other than the entrance fee are refundable if the student's withdrawal occurs before the payment deadline for that instalment.
- If a student leaves partway through the year the school will refund fees and facilities maintenance for whole terms not yet attended. If a student withdraws or transfers during a term, the fee and facility maintenance for that term are not refunded.

Fee payment options and instructions

- Accepted payment channels: online international payment system (Flywire) and international bank transfer to the school's UK bank account. The school encourages use of Flywire to reduce sending costs and to enable home‑country payment convenience.
- Bank transfer details (published instruction): payments by bank transfer should be made to the RIKKYO SCHOOL IN ENGLAND TRUST account at National Westminster Bank (account number and sort code are provided in the school's fee instructions and invoices; IBAN and SWIFT/BIC are also published for international remittances). When using bank transfer, the payer must include the student's name and should ensure transfer fees charged by the sending bank are covered so the school receives the full invoiced amount. Cash and cheques are not accepted for fee payments.
- One‑off (annual) payment option: a single annual payment (one‑off settlement) is available by request; the school will issue a separate invoice for lump‑sum payment upon arrangement with the finance office.

VAT and pricing note

- Published fees are shown inclusive of VAT at 20% where applicable under the UK rules introduced for independent school fees. The school's published annual figures are VAT‑inclusive.

Summary (quick reference)

- Entrance fee: GBP 3,970 (VAT included). Facilities maintenance: GBP 1,985 (VAT included). Annual tuition (tuition + boarding): Primary GBP 33,000; Middle GBP 36,000; Senior GBP 37,800. Termly payments are available (standard three‑term division shown above). Payment accepted via Flywire or international bank transfer; invoices and deadlines follow the start‑of‑term schedule described above. Refund rules: entrance fee non‑refundable; other refunds limited to payments made before the relevant deadline or for whole unused terms.
