Public Examinations
The cost of entry for public examinations is charged in addition to the basic school fees.
Text books are included in the basic school fees but a charge will be made if they are damaged or for any reason not returned.
Extras
Individual music lessons are available on a wide variety of instruments. The cost of lessons is £160 per term for 30 minute lessons and £210 per term for 40 minute lessons. Applications should be made to the Director of Music.
Payment of Fees
School fees are payable on or before the first day of term for which they are due. Interest is charged on overdue fees on a rate to be fixed from time to time. Parents accept responsibility for all fees, including disbursements on the child’s behalf, both before and after the child has reached a majority of eighteen. School fees cannot be refunded for any part of a term for which a pupil is absent through illness, accident, or other cause. Parents are advised to consider joining the School Fee Protection Scheme which may also be extended to cover certain medical expenses through a Group Private Health Scheme.
Methods of Payment
• Over the counter at your bank using the remittance slip attached to your fee account.
• Internet banking using the bank detail on the remittance slip. Please ensure that you quote your child’s account reference or we will be unable to process your payment which may result in you receiving bill reminders.
• Debit Card - Please call the Fee Administrator with your card details.
• Credit Card - Please call the Fee Administrator. Please note that this service carries a charge of 2.5% of the total amount paid.
• Holmwoods Termtime - Monthly payment by direct debit. This payment method incorporates a service charge of 2.75% of the terms fees. Please contact the Fee Administrator to request an application form.

Insurance and Payment Fee Schemes
Whilst the School takes all proper steps to safeguard pupils’ personal effects while on school premises, no liability whatsoever can be accepted for any loss or damage to them. Parents are therefore recommended to check that their own insurance policy covers articles taken to school and, if this does not do so, to arrange for the policy to be appropriately extended.
A Personal Accident Insurance Scheme is included in the fees. The cover under this scheme is world wide and continues during the holiday periods and also whether the accident occurs inside or outside the School. The Scheme in principle covers accidents that are not occasioned by negligence. The School holds full Public Liability Insurance cover in respect of pupils, staff, parents and visitors.
Parents’ attention is drawn to the existence of fee payment schemes linked to life insurance policies. Such schemes offer advantages, particularly if taken out whilst children are young.
Notice of Removal
A full term’s notice in writing must be given to and received by the Headmaster, before a pupil leaves the School, gives up an extra subject or changes from boarding to day. Otherwise a term’s fees will be charged in lieu. Parents are also reminded that they must give a full term’s notice in writing before ending any special tuition given by visiting teachers.
Increases
Every effort will be made to give a term’s notice of fee increases; however, the School reserves the right to alter the fees and charges at any time. Fees are usually adjusted once a year in September.
