The termly fee is payable in advance of or before the first day of each term, unless otherwise agreed by separate contractual agreement. If no arrangement is in place and fees are not paid before the first day of term, they will be liable to a surcharge of 1.5% at the end of each month that the account remains unpaid. Any remission may be withdrawn if payment is not received on this basis.
As a result of changes to legislation, we are unable to accept payment of fees by credit or debit card.
Details for payment of fees from outside the UK can be found here.
You can pay your fees for pupils in the UK by online payment here.
