Payment of Fees

Termly Payments
The Harpur Trust will send you an invoice for fees before the start of each term. This will normally be the first day of term but they will notify you of the payment date in advance. Payment should be made by direct debit, bank transfer, debit or credit card.

Monthly Payments
Fees can also be paid, by direct debit only, in nine equal instalments on predetermined dates (usually the first working day of the month or the first day of term if later).

Monthly basis Divided into three termly payments
  Autumn Term September, October and November
  Spring Term January, February and March
  Summer Term May, June and July

Any extra fees (i.e. school trips, additional school meals, if applicable), will be spread over the invoices for each term.
