Fees are due and payable in full by Direct Debit on the day before the first day of the College term to which they relate. Parents who pay fees after the due date will incur a 1% late payment surcharge billed one term in arrears.

Fees must be paid by direct debit unless Parents live outside of the United Kingdom and do not have an account with a bank or building society within the UK. In such cases Fees may be paid by bank transfer (subject to satisfactory completion of the College’s additional certification requirements).

There is a facility available through a third-party credit provider School Fee Plan regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, to enable fee payment by monthly direct debit. Credit is subject to status, affordability, terms and conditions apply. Over 18s only. Failure to keep up with your repayments could result in your agreement being cancelled.

The College reserves the right to suspend a pupil while fees remain unpaid, by giving the parents not less than 2 days’ written notice. 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.

The withdrawal of a pupil requires one full term’s notice given in writing to the Master, or payment of one full term’s fees in lieu of notice.

All pupils are included in a Personal Accident Insurance Scheme which offers cover for permanent disability resulting from an accident. This includes dental injury and emergency dental treatment. In addition, parents can opt-in to a Pupils’ Absence Insurance Scheme (at their own expense) to cover absence through personal illness or injury.

The College is licensed to act as a sponsor for international students who require a Child Student Visa or Student Visa to study in the UK. The College will make an administration charge of £500 for all pupils the College sponsors to come to Dulwich College.
