Billing Process
Invoices are issued termly for payment in advance. Fees should be paid seven days before the start of each term. Extra charges for Late Stays, Flexi/Occasional Boarding and other chargeable items are payable in arrears through the school billing system. Payment by bank transfer is preferable or failing that, cheques drawn on a UK bank account; cash should not be used Credit cards can be used to settle any fees and charges. Credit card payments can be taken over the telephone or in person at the Accounts office. Card details must not be emailed to the Accounts team. AMEX is not accepted.
For those making payments from non-UK bank accounts, we recommend use of Flywire’s international payment service. This is a system set up specifically for educational international fund transfers and offers a cost effective and efficient route for parents to transfer money to our UK bank account. Exchange rates are competitive, and all is transacted on line without the need for time consuming paperwork. Flywire offer exchange rate guarantees (under their Terms and Conditions). Please see www.flywire.com/pay/kingsely.
The School reserves the right to charge for any damage caused and the replacement of lost items.
What is included in the fees
Nursery 1 and Nursery 2: Age-appropriate, nutritious food at lunch and tea time, depending on the sessions booked. All activities, classroom and indoor/outdoor play resources provided within each particular session. Any additional sessions asked for and taken are charged as extras over and above the pre-booked (charged in advance) sessions.
Reception, Year 1 and Year 2: The fees include lunch. School trips are included where they are part of the curriculum for whole year groups. Text books, all stationery items and classroom resources. Reception and Year 1 classes each have a Teaching Assistant. Year 2 shares one Teaching Assistant between two classes.
For any charges for items not included within the published termly/daily fees, you will either have requested it (e.g. after school care) or you will have been asked if you wish to opt for whatever is being offered (e.g. a school photograph). Any requested or agreed extra charges will be added to your next fees invoice. The only exception to this will be for Holiday Club, for which you will be sent a supplementary invoice soon after the start of the term following the Holiday Club.
Private Music/Vocal/Drama Lessons
Individual Music/Drama/Trinity lessons are delivered by Visiting Teachers (VTs). We have agreed a rate with our VTs for the provision of private lessons of £40.41 per hour (£24.92 per 37 minute lesson). The normal termly charge is for a “package” of 10 x 37 minute lessons at £249.20 (£747.60 per academic year).
Music lessons are invoiced by the self-employed VT concerned in advance direct to the parents, except where music lessons are offered free as part of a scholarship/Chorister or other package, in which case VTs will invoice the School directly each term. Ceasing of lessons should be notified directly to the VT a term in advance otherwise fees to the parents will be charged by the VT.
Any missed lessons, without sufficient prior notice to cancel the music/instrument singing lesson will be billed directly to the parents, including those where free music lessons are awarded.

Registration Fee
Acceptance Deposit/Additional Deposit
An Acceptance Deposit (with an Additional Deposit for international domiciled parents) is required on entry into the school as per the table below. For the sake of clarity, the Additional Deposit is levied in the case of a pupil whose normal residence is outside the United Kingdom, not where funds are paid from (except UK Forces/UK Diplomats/Civil Servants serving overseas on a “posting”, where it will be considered they are UK residents).
If you have paid an Acceptance Deposit using previously published rates, at the next move between Nursery into Reception; Year 2 into Year 3; or between Year 8 into Year 9, the level of deposit will need to be brought up to the level shown within the table below:
| Year Group | Payable on Entry into School |
|---|---|
| Nursery | £500 |
| Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 | £500 |
| Years 3–13 | £500 |
| Any International Domiciled Students (Non-EEA) | £500 plus 1 term's fees (the Additional Deposit), adjusted annually to reflect the fees at time of Acceptance. |
The Acceptance Deposits will be retained within the general funds of the School until the pupil leaves and will be repaid by means of a credit without interest to the final payment of Fees or other sums due to the School on leaving. The final account is issued towards the end of the first half of the term following the term the student left.
