Fees are payable termly in advance, or a monthly direct debit arrangement is available by arrangement with the Bursar.
Bursary assistance is available in cases of financial hardship, where this makes it possible for a child to join and/or remain at the School. Please contact the Bursar if you would like to discuss this further - in strictest confidence.
