Late payment protocol

If after three reminders, school fees and other charges fall into arrears, the school reserves the right to send the entire amount due to the school’s debt collections agency and to refuse admittance to the school. All costs of the debt collection agency will be for the parent.

This late payment protocol applies similarly to the invoicing of extras (for instance school bus, lunch and trip).

In the situation where there is an outstanding debt, any payment made will always be paid towards the oldest outstanding amount that is due/payable.

No school records or reports will be issued until all fees and other charges have been satisfactorily settled. The due date of invoices will not change if a request for a change in the invoice is made.

Other additional costs

School Trips

All school trips that are a compulsory part of the curriculum are included in the School Fees.

Extras not included in the School Fees

Optional trips are not covered by the School Fees and will be invoiced separately. Pupils will not be allowed to attend the trip unless payment in full has been made before the trip takes place. If this is the case, no refund of fully or partially paid trip fees can be made.

The fees for the School Bus and Lunch are not included in the School Fees and will be invoiced per term separately on a non-refundable basis. For 2019-20 School Lunch is charged at €5 a day and the School Bus was €16.50 per ride for 2019-20. The pricing for 2020-21 is currently being reviewed. More information about the School Buses can be found by clicking here.

School text books and examination fees

Text books and exercise book are provided by the School free of charge, unless they are damaged or lost. All external examination fees for qualifications from the UK, such as GCSE/IGCSE and AS/A level are also paid for within the School Fees. Any re-take examinations will be invoiced separately.

Laptop in the Senior School

All pupils in years 7 to 9 are expected to have a Chromebook as part of their school supplies. The Chromebook must be brought to school on a daily basis fully charged ready to use in lessons.

In Year 10 and above, whilst we recommend a Chromebook because of the battery life, very quick start up and shut down, and robustness within school, pupils may bring any device, the minimum requirement is that it has a full sized keyboard.

Learning Support

For children with additional learning support needs requiring a Learning Support Assistant the fee for 2019-20 is €35,482 per year for full time support. This is in addition to School Fees. The amount for 2020-21 is currently being reviewed. Please contact the Admissions Team admissions@britams.nl for more details.
