Fees
General
School fees are payable, per term, in advance. Payment should be by bank transfer (EFT), cash or cheque. We cannot accept payment by Credit or Debit cards. A deposit will be required before the close of each term to secure placement for the subsequent term. The balance of fees must be settled, in full, by the first day of each term unless a monthly payment option has been requested. Penalties will be charged for late payment of fees.
Payments Monthly
The option to pay fees monthly is available. No extra charge is levied for this option. Monthly payments are due by the last working day of each month. Penalties will be levied on persistent late payers.
New Students
When a place is offered to a new student, a non-refundable Enrolment Fee will be required immediately to secure the place. A non-refundable deposit towards the first term school fees will also be required. The payment of this deposit is taken as your commitment to accepting the place. Under no circumstances will refunds be considered. The balance of the term fee is due before the child is admitted to class.
Where an offer of placement is made after the start of term, all fees must be paid before the child will be admitted to class. Fees for the subsequent terms may be paid in accordance with the monthly schedule.
Full details of payments required will be communicated in the letter of offer.
Pro-Rata Fees
Where a child joins school during the term, a reduction may be offered on the term fee. This is at the sole discretion of the Headteacher.
Notice of Withdrawal from School
We require one full term’s notice before a child is withdrawn from school. All notices of withdrawal are required to be in writing, and submitted to the Head Teacher. One full term’s fee will be charged if the correct notice is not given.
Returned Cheques
Any cheques returned unpaid by your bank, for any reason, will attract an administration fee.
Post-Dated Cheques
We DO NOT ACCEPT post-dated cheques in settlement of current term fees. Should further clarification be required, please contact any member of Management or Finance Department.
Late Payments
Penalties will be imposed on all unpaid balances after the first day of each term. Subsequent penalties will be levied on the 1st of each month until balance is cleared.
