For pupils in Years 10 to 13, there will be an additional charge of €375.  This fee goes towards covering course-related expenses for GCSE and AS/A Level examination courses, such as supplementary resources, exam fees and materials, and invigilator expenses incurred by the school during the examination periods.

Application fee

A non-refundable payment of €250 is due upon submission of your application.  This is to cover the review and administration of the application.  An application is not reviewed until this is paid.  Should an application be unsuccessful, the application fee is not refunded.

Enrolment fee

When a place is offered, a non-refundable enrolment fee of €750 is due for families joining Nursery or Reception.  For families joining Years 1-12, the fee is €2,000.  Once this fee is paid the place is guaranteed.  Families transferring from Reception to Year 1 will be invoiced an additional €1,250 with the Year 1 School Fees.

However, if your child was enrolled prior to September 2022 and you were on the refundable deposit system, you will receive an invoice for €1,000 if your child is transferring from Nursery to Reception in September 2025.  This is because the full non-refundable deposit for Reception onwards is €2,500.

Split payments

Fees will only be invoiced annually, however where parents are paying fees themselves, it is possible to pay in 3 equal instalments as follows:

  • Payment Term 1 (Autumn Term) due 3 July 2025 
  • Payment Term 2 (Spring Term) due 9 October 2025 
  • Payment Term 3 (Summer Term) due 5 February 2026
Late payment protocol

If 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 school lunches and trips).

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.

The fees for school lunches are not included in the school fees and will be invoiced separately on a non-refundable basis. School lunches are provided by Appel Catering.  To find out more about their provisions, prices and ordering system, click here.
