Paying
Fees are due before the first day of each term. We accept bank transfer, cash at the bursary, and Visa or Mastercard with no fee.
Monthly instalments are possible at no extra cost: three payments within the term, agreed with the bursar before the term starts rather than after the reminder. Most families who ask are accommodated.
A child is not sent home over fees and is never spoken to about them. That conversation is with the parents and nobody else.
