Terms and Conditions

Payment of private secondary school fees

Payment of fees is in full by the first day of term. Fee accounts are prepared at the end of each term for payment by the start of the following term by bank transfer or by cheque direct to the school.

Pre-paid (composition) fees scheme

The school operates a pre-paid (composition) fees scheme, by which parents can pay a lump sum in advance for the school fees (minimum two years) thereby receiving a substantial discount. A quotation can be obtained from the Finance Bursar (dab@roedean.co.uk).

Increase of fees

The school will give parents one term’s notice of fee increases; however under some circumstances it may be necessary to review fees at other times. Should a parent or guardian wish to withdraw a girl as a result of such an increase, a term’s notice must still be given.

Overdue fees

A surcharge will be made on accounts not received by the first day of each term. The current rate of surcharge is Bank Base Rate plus 4%.

We will also recover any administrative fees associated with any debt and pass on the costs of any debt recovery agents that we may instruct.

Registration fee

Charges for extra subjects/activities

Written permission of the parent or guardian is required before a girl can be accepted for tuition in an extra subject/activity. Since payment has to be made to the teachers concerned, subjects may be terminated only at the end of a term, for which half of one term's notice in writing is required. If a subject/activity is discontinued during a term, the whole of that term's charge will be payable.

Full details of subjects/activites offered are published seperatly.

Where pupils require private academic coaching, this is a matter for separate written contract between the parents and the school.

Notice of withdrawal

Once a place in the school has been accepted, at least one full term’s notice of withdrawal of a girl must be given to the Headmistress in writing, irrespective of whether the girl has joined the school or not. If the required notice is not given, fees for the next term will be charged.

Requests for change of status from boarding to day or vice versa should also be made giving one term’s notice.
