Notes on invoicing and consequences of late payment

- Invoices are issued by term or for the full year; payment deadlines are set in reminders. If payment is overdue, the school issues formal email reminders and then registered letters; failure to regularize at term end can lead to exclusion from the establishment and refusal to re‑enrol the pupil and siblings, and may result in legal recovery actions. An individual payment plan may be negotiated in writing with the school's financial services.
