Termly Fees

The fees for each term are payable either on or before the first day of term. For more information on fees, please refer to our terms and conditions.

Please read about our optional and compulsory insurance policies

Monthly Interest Free Payment Scheme

We offer an interest free monthly payment option to our parents. For ease and simplicity, we have decided to offer our monthly payment option during the first three months of each term; this means that fees for each term should be paid in three equal instalments during the first three months of the relevant term. For more information, please contact our Finance department.

School Fees Refund Scheme

There is an opportunity for parents to pay an additional termly charge to participate in the School’s Fees Refund scheme, whereby you can obtain a proportionate refund of fees if your child is absent from school for periods of time due to illness etc.
