Notes

• The Fees will be reviewed by the Governors from time to time and may be increased by such amount as they consider reasonable. The School shall endeavour to give at least a term’s notice of any increase in the fees due for a particular term and in any event shall give notice of any such increase not later than the final day of the preceding term.
• School fee accounts become due on, and must be paid by, the first day of each term. Interest on outstanding accounts will be charged at the rate of 2% per month from the first day of term.
• Fees should be paid by direct transfer to: Barclays Bank Plc; Account name: Elstree School Headmasters Account; Sort Code: 20-59-22; Account Number: 90354473 IBAN GB71BARC20592290354473
• A term’s notice in writing is required if a child is to be withdrawn from the School (other than at the normal leaving date) or, the child is to be withdrawn from an activity charged as a supplemental or, the child’s place at the School is to be changed from a boarding to a day place. In cases where notice is not given, the appropriate sum in lieu of notice will become due and owing to the School as a debt on the first day of the term which would have been the final term of provision if a term’s notice had been given.
• The Headmaster may, at his discretion, require you to remove your child from the School if he considers that your child’s attendance, progress or behaviour is seriously unsatisfactory and in the reasonable opinion of the Headmaster, the removal is in the School’s best interests or those of your child or other children.
