Insurance

The School's Insurance Brokers offer an Insurance Scheme whereby parents may recover a proportion of the fees when their children are unavoidably absent from School because of illness, accident or infection. This scheme is voluntary but parents should note that the school itself is unable to grant any remission of fees on these grounds.

The same brokers also offer a Students' Personal Accident Insurance Scheme. Participation in this scheme is compulsory for all pupils. Full particulars of these two schemes are sent to parents with joining details.

Parents are strongly recommended to ensure that their own personal property insurance will cover their children's personal property while at School, or on any School sponsored activity away from the School. The School itself is unable to accept responsibility for the loss of, or damage to, pupils' personal property.

Notice of Removal

The headmaster reserves the right to require the removal of any pupil at any time if, in his opinion, it is necessary in the interests of either the School or pupil. No remission of fees will be granted for the remainder of the term during which the pupil has been removed or suspended.

A full term's notice must be given in writing to the Headmaster before a pupil's removal from the School. In default of such notice, payment of the School's fees for one term must be made. It is important, in order to avoid any possible misunderstanding, that this notice should be made in writing and addressed to the Headmaster, and received and acknowledged by the School prior to the commencement of the final term.

Closure of School

Closure of the School during a term due to illness, epidemic or other circumstances beyond the control of the School, shall not give rise to any liability for reimbursement of fees paid for that particular term.
