Payment of Fees

Ringrose Kindergarten operates on a term-time-only basis and is open for 33 weeks per year. Full term dates are available on the school website. Fees are calculated to reflect a full year divided into three equal termly payments. Fees are reviewed annually.

1. School fees are due on or before the end of the first day of term.
2. An administration charge of £100 per week (or part of a week) will be added to all fees remaining unpaid after the beginning of term.
3. Pupils may be excluded if fees remain unpaid at half-term.
4. Notice of withdrawal must be given in writing to the Headmistress on or before the first day of the term at the end of which the child will leave. If notice is not given, the following term’s fees will be charged in lieu of notice.
