Refunds, withdrawal and notice - Refunds for early withdrawal: withdrawing a pupil before the end of the school year normally results in a refund for the remaining months, but refunds are reduced by any annual-payment discounts previously applied. Failure to provide the required notice of withdrawal will trigger fees in lieu of notice which are deducted from refundable amounts. - No refund/waiver in normal circumstances: fees will not be refunded or waived for absence due to sickness, for shortened terms, or for temporary school closures except in exceptional cases at the Principal's discretion or where a legal obligation requires a refund. - Re-enrolment / registration payments are non-refundable, except for narrow circumstances defined in the school contract; returning the re-enrolment payment within a short statutory window may be treated as unilateral termination without penalty (see the parental contract terms).

In some published fee schedules the school also documents the acceptance of bank transfer or credit card payments (credit card or certain non‑SEPA methods may carry an administrative surcharge per invoice). Contact channels shown in the school fee documents are used to arrange annual payment by bank transfer or card where allowed.
