Monthly interest-free payment scheme
We are also pleased to offer interest-free monthly payments to our parents. Our parents have the option to pay over eleven months of the academic year. This means that the fee invoice can be paid in eleven equal instalments, with payment in full completed by June. Each term’s fees are divided equally into three or four monthly payments (4 monthly payments in Autumn Term, 4 monthly payments in Spring Term and 3 monthly payments in Summer Term).
