Other costs and incidental fees

- The school's published resources and download centre list a set of policy documents (for example a bus/transport policy and a Parent Handbook), which indicates that additional charges can apply for services and items such as school transport, uniforms, examination and external assessment fees, learning resources and optional activities. These costs are treated as additional to the annual tuition.

The Fees & Financial Commitments document is the authoritative source that sets out whether deposits are refundable, how tuition refunds (if any) are calculated for mid‑year withdrawals, and any required written notice periods.

Fee payment options

- The school's Fees & Financial Commitments documentation and the admissions information identify the school's Business/Accounts arrangements as the place where accepted payment methods and bank details are given; commonly used methods for international schools in the region include bank transfer and card or cheque payments, but the school's Fees & Financial Commitments document defines the accepted methods and any bank‑fees or administrative charges.
