GENERAL NOTES ON FEES:

 

One full school term’s notice of intention to withdraw a student from the School must be given in writing to the Head; otherwise a full term’s fees will be charged. This means that notice must be given before the first day of a term for withdrawal at the end of that term. For any notice given mid-term, the term’s notice period will begin on the first day of the next full term. For example, if notice is received in March, the term’s notice period begins on the first day of the summer term and fees will be payable through the entire summer term.

 

Payment must be received before the beginning of each term. If a yearly payment is received before the first day of the school year in September, the TUITION part of the fees is subject to a 5% discount.

 

All enrolment and payment arrangements MUST be completed before each term starts, and students will need Accounts approval prior to admission into the classroom by the tutor.

 

There are several ways in which payment can be made:

 

·       Cheque made payable to Greenfields School

·       Cash

·       Credit Card - we take Visa, MasterCard, EuroCard, Visa Electron, Switch and SOLO.  There will be a surcharge of 2% added for this form of payment.

·       Holmwoods Termtime Credit – Holmwoods is a company that will pay the full term’s fees to the school for UK families who then repay Holmwoods on a monthly basis.  They add a 2.6% surcharge for this service.

 

Parents who live outside the UK may pay by cheque, drawn on an English bank in POUNDS STERLING, or by Bank Transfer in POUNDS STERLING, which must be received by our bank BEFORE the start of term  

 

A late payment charge of £ 50 will be applied to any account not paid in full on the first day of term.
