To secure a place for your child for the next academic year, you must pay the admission fee of £250. This is non-refundable.  

We expect everyone to meet their obligations in full without exception. Parents may if they so wish apply for financial support to outside aid agencies, however, the decision of such agencies in providing assistance is not the responsibility of the school and will not be accepted as a reason for any delay in making fee payments on time. 

If you are not up to date in all your payments by the following dates, a £25 admin charge will also apply: 15th September, 15th January. Please note the admin charge cannot be removed once it is applied. 

We will exclude a child from school, even at exam time, if all sums due to date are not cleared before the above dates.

This exclusion will apply even if you have paid the fees, but have neglected to pay the admin charge. 

Parents of pupils in Year 11 (the final year) must ensure that the all fees are settled before March of that year to enable the child to sit GCSE examinations. The School may withhold any information and property whenever fees are overdue. The School may disclose the fact and amount of any unpaid fees to another school which the pupil attends or proposes to attend. 

A pupil will be deemed to have been withdrawn without notice if any fees remain unpaid one calendar month after exclusion for non-payment of fees. Accordingly, a term’s fee will be payable forthwith. 

Currently, there are no Scholarships and Discounts operated, but should they become available then it will be advertised as appropriate. 

Fees will not be refunded for any absence.  Any child who is, without prior written permission from the Head teacher, absent from class for 2 weeks or portions thereof will need to notify school with an explanation. If the child remains absent for a 3rd week or portions thereof without adequate explanation, the child’s place may be offered to others on the Waiting List without further warning.  Any fees paid will not be refunded under such circumstances. 

Parents must give a term’s advance written notice before withdrawing a child from the school or a term’s fee will be payable in lieu. Notice given by parents only operates when submitted in writing to the school secretary and received by the school. Notice given orally or to any other person will not be considered valid. Written notice received before the first day of term expires at the end of the term. Written notice received on or after the first day of term expires at the end of the following term. 

If a parent has paid in advance he/she may be entitled to a refund. This however is conditional on there being no financial loss to the school and provided the child’s place is filled by another on the Waiting List. The deposit will be held on account for such cases. 

Fees will not be refunded or waived for absence through sickness or if a term is shortened or a vacation extended or if a pupil is sent home before the normal end of term or for any other cause. 

All parents are required to complete and sign the form ASAP. 

Fees will not be refunded or waived for absence through sickness or if a term is shortened or a vacation extended or if a pupil is sent home before the normal end of term or for any other cause.
