School Fees
From the Autumn Term 2010 the fees will be as Follows:
Existing Direct Debit Customers need take no action; existing Direct Debits will be updated automatically. New Direct Debit customers should request a Direct Debit Mandate during May 2010 which must be returned before the end of June 2010 to take effect at the beginning of September 2010. Each term’s fees must be paid in full, at the latest, on the first day of term; for an additional fee of £25 you may pay in ten monthly instalments by Direct Debit. Direct Debits will be taken on the first working day of each month from September to June inclusive. If you wish to pay by instalments please request a Direct Debit Mandate from the Assistant Bursar and return it to her promptly; please make sure that your account details and your bank’s address and postcode are correct. Transport costs may be included in your instalment plan if you make the arrangement with the Assistant Bursar when you set up your direct debit with her. In the unlikely situation that you would wish to pay your fees in cash, the same deadlines and dates will apply and you should contact the Assistant Bursar to obtain our bank details so that you can make a Bank Giro counter payment at your local branch. For insurance and security reasons, it is not possible for our School Office to accept cash payments. Please not that, for your convenience, we are able to accept most debit or credit card payments either by telephone or on site. Any payments that are returned by the bank will result in a surcharge of £30 being applied for each failed payment plus an interest charge, in accordance with the terms of your contract, at a rate of 1.5% per calendar month. The surcharge is to cover bank charges and administration costs. Long term uncleared debt will be passed to our collection agency and you will incur the cost of the debt retrieval in addition to the interest charge. I am sorry to have to remind you of this aspect of your contract: this reminder will only be applicable to a very small minority of parents, but it is only fair to the very great majority of parents who pay on time and in full to draw it to your attention.
