- Late payment and non‑payment provisions, and the School's rights to exclude for non‑payment, are set out in the School's Terms and Conditions.

- Fees in Advance scheme: an advance payment scheme is offered (reduced rate for pre‑paid fixed years).

Other costs and optional extras

- Bus transport: termly charges by price band (see bus route charges above).

- Public and music examination fees: charged in addition at the examination board rates.
- Uniform: the School operates a uniform policy and has a second‑hand uniform shop; uniform items and any associated costs are managed through the School's uniform supplier arrangements and may be included in bursary allowances where a means‑tested award includes a clothing/uniform allowance. Exact uniform item prices are not published as fixed fee lines in the standard fees lists.
- Incidental charges (trips, specialist clubs, one‑to‑one tuition, damage replacement, optional external courses) are charged in addition to tuition and termly invoices will itemise them when incurred.
Refunds, deposits and cancellation rules
- General rule on refunds: fees will not be refunded, reduced or waived for reasons such as pupil absence through illness or where a term is shortened or a vacation extended.
- Acceptance deposit treatment: the Acceptance Deposit is normally retained in the School's funds and repaid (without interest) as a credit against the final sums due on leaving unless the parents choose to donate it.
- Distance‑sale cancellation right: where the offer and acceptance take place entirely at a distance, parents have a 14‑day right to cancel; in that case the Acceptance Deposit and any Additional Deposit will be refunded and any fees paid will be pro‑rated for educational services already provided.
- Withdrawal and notice: if parents withdraw a pupil after the 14‑day cancellation period they must give one term's written notice or pay one term's fees in lieu of notice; where parents cancel by giving one term's written notice the School will retain the Acceptance Deposit; other circumstances for repayment of the deposit are set out in the School's Terms and Conditions.
- Late or non‑payment consequences and the School's rights (including exclusion) are set out in the Terms and Conditions.
Practical notes on invoicing & incidental charges
- All regular tuition and most ancillary charges are invoiced termly and are due before the start of the term.
- Optional monthly or 12‑month spreading options are available to smooth payment for families who choose them.
- Additional one‑off or recurring charges (EAL, learning support, certain clubs, trips, examination fees, coach travel) appear on termly invoices when applied.
If you require the fee lines broken down into a short reference list (termly and annual totals only) for each distinct year group and boarding status, those figures are the termly amounts above and their annual equivalents are calculated by multiplying the published termly fees by three (three academic terms per year).
