Payment Options
The price quoted under fares is the total cost for the full academic year. Your deposit is taken off the total before you work out the amount and how you wish to pay. At the point of booking you have to decide if you wish to pay in Advance or by Monthly payments. In all cases an initial £83 none refundable deposit is required to secure your place.

These are usually sent out just before schools break for the summer holidays.

If your first payment or your final balance is not received on time a reminder letter will be sent and you will be invoiced £25 per letter for late payment charges and administration costs. If your balance is not clear by the 2nd February you will be invoiced a further £84 and your account switched to monthly terms. If this happens the final balance must be cleared by the 31st May.
