Insurance
Students’ Personal Accident Insurance Scheme: Parents are reminded that all pupils are covered by the above scheme, provided free of charge by the School.
School Fees Remission Scheme which covers for absence when pupils are sick. Parents may reclaim school fees proportionately if their child is absent for 5 or more consecutive days. Claim forms are obtainable from the Operations Department. An ‘opt out’ policy applies to this scheme, and all pupils will be assumed to be included in the scheme and premiums charged accordingly. The Governors have implemented this policy to safeguard the fees paid by parents under such circumstances, and confirm that a refund of fees will not be approved other than through the Protection Scheme.
Payment by Direct Debit
The preferred system for payment of School Fees is by Termly Direct Debit and parents who have not signed a mandate to pay fees by Direct Debit are invited to do so. Further information is available on request from the Accounts Department (01225) 820320. Payment via Monthly Direct Debit and any other agreed instalment payments will incur an administration charge of £15 per term.
Parents are reminded that fees are payable by the first day of term.
