In addition, a deposit of £10,827, being one term’s full boarding fees, is required which will be credited against the first term’s fee.
If the pupil is withdrawn after acceptance, deposits are not refundable.
The Governors reserve the right to review fee levels at any time.
Payment of Fees
Fees are payable by Direct Debit, either in full on the first day of term or in 3 monthly instalments each term. The College will also accept payment by certain Credit/Debit cards in full on the first day of term. Credit card payments and monthly Direct Debit payments are subject to a 1% surcharge billed in arrears. Parents who are resident overseas and do not have a bank account in the UK may pay by bank transfer. In order to comply with regulatory requirements, the College does not accept payments in cash. The fee for a boy attending the College for any part of a term must be paid for the whole of that term. The withdrawal of a pupil requires one full term's notice given in writing to the Master, or one full term's fees in lieu.
The College reserves the right to suspend pupils whose fees are not paid (or for whom no periodic Direct Debit arrangements have been made) by the third Saturday of term. If parents default on Direct Debit payments the full fee will be payable immediately. Parents who have paid fees late or whose fees are overdue may be asked to pay one term's fees as an additional deposit. If necessary the College will instruct solicitors to recover unpaid fees with interest and all costs incurred will be recoverable in full.
All pupils are covered by the following insurance schemes: The School Fees Refund Scheme covers absence from school for extended periods through personal illness or injury.
The Personal Accident Scheme offers cover for permanent disability resulting from an accident.
Full details of both schemes will be supplied on entry or are available at any time from the College Fees Administrator. There is no additional charge for membership of these schemes.

Advance Payment of Fees Scheme
The College runs its own scheme for advance payment of school fees. Under this arrangement parents are able to pay a lump sum in advance to purchase credits against future school fees, and receive a discount on the amount of credits purchased. Such sums can be paid prior to entry (once a boy has been offered a place), on entry, or at anytime during a boy’s career at the College.
