Nursery fees are charged on a daily basis and will obviously depend upon attendance: there is a great deal of flexibility in these arrangements. Nursery fees are billed monthly.
'Extras', such as examination fees, bus charges, most trips etc., are collected by direct debit. Musical instrument lesson fees are paid direct to the private tutors.
For monthly direct debit payers there is no administration charge levied for this service. A range of insurances is also available to cover fees protection and sickness etc.
(Fees are usually reviewed annually).
The payment of fees is a major commitment and parents are advised to seek assistance from those with specialist knowledge.
The Independent Schools Council (ISC) publishes a book called 'How you can afford an independent education' which lists some of the firms that give assistance in planning school fees. The booklet may be obtained from ISC on 020 7798 1500. Your bank manager, accountant or financial advisor will also be able to help.
Specific questions about the payment of fees can be gained from the United Church Schools Trust (01832 735 105).
