The school's public materials confirm a registration charge is required but do not publish a fixed amount for the registration fee.

The school's public materials do not list separate per-term or per-year tuition figures by year group. Billing schedule and payment terms - Tuition is billed as a single quota and collected in 10 equal monthly instalments from September to June (inclusive), payable at the beginning of each month. Parents must accept the school's payment policy at enrolment. Boarding fees - Richmond Park School does not operate a boarding provision; boarding fees are not applicable. The school's published information sets out day-school hours and day services. Other costs and regular additional charges - Uniforms: Uniforms are supplied through an external supplier (E-Uniforms); the school provides the uniform specification and parents purchase items separately. Swimming costumes/uniforms are sold at the school.

Books and materials for the Spanish curriculum are not included and are charged separately. - School transport: Transport is not included in the single quota and is charged separately.

Summer-programme payments, instalments and cancellation terms are specified in each programme form. Refunds and cancellations - A general tuition refund schedule (for annual tuition or the single quota) is not published in the school's public fee information.
