ANNUAL GRADE LEVY

This levy will cover all costs for camps, some printed educational notes, PA fund, school magazine and educational programmes specific to a grade. These levies are a contribution to a group expense so it is not possible to refund fully should an individual child miss an event paid for by levy.

Please see the web page for the detail of each grade levy.

The following amount will be charged on your January account and is payable on presentation.

Although the Board of Directors will always endeavour not to increase tuition fees during a school year, it reserves the right to do so if circumstances require it. A reasonable increase in fees can be expected each year to provide for inflation and other costs beyond our control.

A term’s written notice is required when withdrawing a pupil from the school.

Both parties who have signed the Acceptance of Place form remain liable for the payment of all outstanding accounts, unless other written agreements are lodged with the administration office. All payments received will be applied firstly to late payment charges, fees in lieu of notice, sundry charges and then outstanding tuition fees.
