Childcare Vouchers
Due to Consumer Credit Regulations, the School is not able to accept fee payments via monthly payments directly from fee-payers to the school (excluding Pre-School fees which are paid monthly in advance).
We would also like to remind you that in line with our contract and policy on debt, we reserve the right to apply interest at a rate of 3% on any outstanding fees. The charge will be made from the date the payment is due.
Please note that payment of a full academic year’s fees in advance, by any of the above methods, will attract a discount. This is currently set at 2% but the School reserves the right to amend or remove this facility.
If you have any questions regarding any of the above please contact the Finance Office directly on 0121 386 8212.
