Per-term examples (calculations based on published annual fees)

- The school's published fee schedule gives annual fees by applicant category and does not publish a single standard termly figure for every family. The published admissions rules do state that a short-term place requires payment equal to "one term (6 months)," indicating the school may treat a short-term place as a half-year charge in admissions cases.

- Example term splits (calculated estimates):
- If an annual fee is divided across three standard terms:
- Category A ≈ GBP 6,333.33 + VAT per term; Category B ≈ GBP 2,666.67 + VAT per term; C1 ≈ GBP 1,066.67 + VAT; C2 ≈ GBP 900.00 + VAT; C3 ≈ GBP 733.33 + VAT. (These are the annual fees divided by 3; used only as an illustrative split.)
- If the school applies a two-term (6-month) definition for the short-stay term referenced in admissions:
- Category A = GBP 9,500 + VAT per 6-month term; Category B = GBP 4,000 + VAT; C1 = GBP 1,600 + VAT; C2 = GBP 1,350 + VAT; C3 = GBP 1,100 + VAT. (These are the annual fees divided by 2; shown because the admissions policy specifically references a "one term (6 months)" charge for short stays.)

Billing schedule and payment terms

- A place must be taken up no later than four weeks after it is offered. Payment of school fees for the entire period is required from the school start date allocated. Short-term applications (minimum three months) must pay an amount equal to one term (defined in the admissions policy as 6 months) regardless of whether the stay is shorter. A contract for a school place must be signed and the GBP 250 deposit paid to reserve the place.

- The published fee schedule lists amounts as "+ VAT," which means VAT is added on top of the stated annual sums where applicable.

Boarding fees

- Boarding is not applicable. The Norwegian School in London is an independent day school; pupils live in various parts of London and there is no published boarding provision or boarding fee.

Other costs and additional charges

- Special Educational Needs: For applicants who are not eligible for Norwegian State Grants, any costs related to Special Educational Needs will be charged additionally at the Head Teacher's discretion.

- The published school fee schedule does not list fixed, itemised charges for uniform, lunches, school trips, music tuition or after-school clubs as part of the headline annual fees document. Where additional or optional activities incur charges, those items are not shown as fixed line items in the published annual-fees schedule.

Refund information

- The published admissions and fees documentation requires payment of the deposit and payment for the period from the allocated start date but does not publish a separate, detailed refund policy or explicit rules for returning the GBP 250 deposit in the publicly available fee and admission policy documents. The published materials do not specify termly refund calculations or refund deadlines.

Fee payment options

- The published fee and admissions documents do not list specific accepted payment methods (for example: credit card, bank transfer, direct debit) in the fee schedule or admissions policy. The school's published policies and fee schedule show amounts, deposit requirements and payment timing rules but do not include bank or card instructions in the fee policy document.

Brief summary of what is published vs what is not published

- Published and explicit: annual tuition amounts by applicant category (Category A, B, C1, C2, C3) and that VAT is added; a GBP 250 deposit per place; requirement to pay for the allocated period from the start date; short-stay applicants must pay an amount equal to one term (stated as 6 months).

- Not published in the school's fee and admissions documents: a single, universal termly invoice amount or per-year-group (per school year / per year group) fixed fees; a full billing calendar or standard termly invoice dates; itemised routine charges for uniform, lunches, trips, music or after-school clubs; detailed refund terms and the school's accepted payment methods. These items are not set out in the published fee schedule or admissions policy.
