Reduction for Brothers and Sisters

A reduction of the net school fee (referred to in the table above) is currently offered to parents who have two children or more at the School. The reductions, which are applied to the elder children, are 10% for the second child, 20% for the third child and any subsequent children whilst they all simultaneously attend the School. When the elder child leaves the discount ceases or adjusts down as appropriate.

 

Capital Fees Scheme

Those with a capital sum to invest may wish to consider making a Capital Fees payment.  The Foundation currently offers a rate of discount far in excess of the prevailing Bank Base Rate against fees paid in advance, provided that at least six terms’ fees are settled.  This scheme has proven popular in recent years and those wishing to learn more should contact the Finance Controller, in the first instance.

The School accepts payment against qualifying fees by childcare vouchers and Tax-Free Childcare.

In accordance with the School’s terms and conditions, a full term’s notice must be given in writing if you wish to withdraw your child from the School, or if you wish to change your child’s place at the School from one type of boarding to another or to a day place. Failing such notice, a full term’s fees will be charged.
