All dates in this document are inclusive.
The Year Group that a child would join is determined by their age on 1 September.
Children who are rising 3
Children may enter the Nursery in the term that they celebrate their third birthday. Children who join as a rising 3 will be in the Nursery for more than one academic year. In such instances, to ensure continuity, the children remain in the same classroom for the second academic year. Children enter Reception in the academic year that they turn 5 years old. The school year runs from 1 September to 31 August.

The School reserves the right to refuse admission if:
A non-refundable Registration Fee of €250 is required at the start of the admissions process for each child applying to the school.
The School requires the following documents:
For applications to the Infant, Junior and Senior school, the Admissions Department will request a confidential reference from the child’s current school. A Parent Reference will be requested for a child applying to join Reception. A reference is not required for children applying to join Nursery.
Once the application has been reviewed by the relevant head of school and the Principal, the Admissions Department will send an invoice for the Deposit. The Deposit is €1,500 for Nursery and €2,500 from Reception to Year 13. Children transferring from Nursery to Reception will be invoiced an additional €1,000 Deposit.
If the Deposit is not paid by the due date the School will cancel the application without notice.
The Deposit is refunded when the child leaves the School provided a Term’s notice has been given and there are no outstanding invoices or when the School is not able to offer the child a place. For Nursery enrolments, if a place is offered and accepted but the preferred sessions are not available, this is not a sufficient reason for the Deposit to be refunded. This similarly applies to enrolments for Years 10 and 12 where certain courses may no longer be available.
When a place has been offered, the parents have three working days to email a scanned copy of the acceptance letter that needs to be signed by a parent. If, after three working days, the School has not received a signed copy of the acceptance letter, the child will be placed back on the waiting list and the place offered to another family.
Siblings
The School always tries to offer all children in a family a place. Where this is not possible the cancellation and refund policy below applies per child.
When a place has been offered and accepted and the parents decide to withdraw their acceptance, a Term’s notice of cancellation is required. This must be sent as an email to admissions@britams.nl. Failure to give timely notice of cancellation will result in the Deposit being forfeited and a Term’s fees being charged
Irrespective of whether the invoice is sent to a family or company, it remains the responsibility of those signing the acceptance letter to ensure that school fees are paid in a timely manner.
A Term’s notice is required for leaving the School.
Attendance is required for all or part of the term during which a child leaves. The Deposit and School Fee for subsequent Terms can only be refunded if all of the following conditions are met:
Please note: refunds will be made to the bank account from which we received the original payment.
The School aims to pay refunds within 30 days of a child leaving the School. If timely notice is not received the School will charge fees for the following Term.
Notification of leaving dates 2020-21
To leave during or at the end of the Autumn Term, notification must be received by no later than Friday 11 September 2020. If fees have been paid in full, the Deposit and two term's fees will be refunded.
To leave during or at the end of the Spring Term, notification must be received by no later than Friday 8 January 2021. If fees have been paid in full, the Deposit and one term's fees will be refunded.
