Discounts

- Sibling discount on tuition: 2% for the first younger sibling, 4% for the second younger sibling, and 16% for a third or subsequent sibling (applies to tuition fees only).

Refunds and withdrawal / cancellation terms

- General refund rule: save for legal liabilities or exceptional discretion by the Head/Principal, tuition and associated fees are not refunded, reduced or waived for absence due to illness, shortened terms, temporary school closure, remote provision or most other interruptions.
- Acceptance deposit and cancellation/withdrawal:
- If an offer and acceptance take place entirely at a distance and the Parents cancel within the 14‑day cancellation window, the Acceptance Deposit will be refunded and any fees for educational services provided will be pro‑rata refunded.
- If Parents cancel after that 14‑day window, providing at least one term's written notice will normally result in the school retaining only the Acceptance Deposit; providing less than one term's written notice normally requires payment of one term's fees in lieu of notice and the deposit will be retained. If a pupil is withdrawn after entry with at least one term's written notice the Acceptance Deposit will be refunded following settlement of outstanding sums. These notice rules determine whether the deposit is retained or repaid.
- Deposit on cancellation before entry: different rules apply where a place is cancelled in the term before entry; in many cases the Acceptance Deposit will be retained and a term's fees may be payable. Consult the school's terms for the precise application of these clauses.

Practical payment notes

- Tuition invoices are issued termly and parents should ensure cleared funds are available before term starts; instalment or alternative payment arrangements require prior written agreement with the Finance Office. Accepted payment methods include direct debit, BACS/bank transfer and the school's international payment platform; registration payments may be taken by PayPal or bank transfer where specified.
