Additional Charges
Insurance Schemes
Personal Accident including Emergency Dental: All pupils are automatically included in the Personal Accident Scheme at no extra cost.
Personal Effects: We are unable to accept responsibility for loss or damage to personal property of pupils and do not carry insurance for this purpose. We recommend that you take out appropriate insurance. We offer a Student’s Personal Effects Scheme – to participate please email the finance team fees@canford.com. The current cost of the scheme is £7.73 per term.
Three meals a day for boarders and lunch for day pupils are included along with text books, exam entrance fees and house parties.
Extra Charges
We work hard to include as many activities as possible within the fees. Lunch, text books, exam entrance fees, house parties and all compulsory trips are included in the fees. Some activities, however, are charged as ‘extras’. As a guide, extras per term can average £250. Music lessons or private tuition can add another £300 or so per term to this figure, dependent upon the number of lessons. The bus service is also in addition to this. However, it is possible to limit extra charges to much lower amounts if you and your child are cautious.
In charging extras, the guidance to teachers and others is that items or activities over £20 require prior parental agreement.
If you wish to cancel a voluntary activity, we will need one full term’s notice in writing or the payment of the fee, charge or subscription in lieu. For example, music lessons are charged in arrears and withdrawal from music tuition requires one full term’s notice in writing to the Director of Music.
Please note the following in relation to specific extra charges:
