Fees
Once a parent has decided to apply for a place at High March School, the registration form should be completed and returned to the School, together with the £50 non-returnable registration fee. Payment will be acknowledged and the place (or waiting list place) will be provisionally confirmed. Please note that if a girl attends a ‘Taster Day’, the registration form must be completed and returned to the School Office, together with the Registration fee, prior to the visit.
Approximately twelve months before joining High March, a deposit of £500 will be requested to guarantee the place; this will be refunded on the leaver’s final account. Please note that if a deposit is paid and a place subsequently not taken up, the deposit will not be refunded.
Fees include tuition, loan of text books, stationery, art handwork materials and lunches. A charge will be made for any textbooks or school property lost or damaged.
Payment of Fees
Fees are due on or before the first day of term. Please note that a surcharge of £50 will applied in respect of late payment. Fees may be paid monthly via a collection scheme operated by Holmwoods Termtime Collections. Details are available from the Financial Officer.
Fees cannot be refunded for absence, but pupils attending School full time (Reception – Year 6) are included in the School Fees Protection Scheme, whereby part fees are returned when a child is unavoidably absent through illness for five days or more, including weekends. Participation in this scheme is strongly recommended and it is operated on an 'Opt Out' basis.
Fees are subject to termly review and may be increased by the School upon giving at least one term's notice to parents. In the normal way fees are increased only once per academic year, with effect from September each year.
Parents are reminded that a full term's notice in writing to commence no later than the first day of the relevant term, must be given to the Headmistress for the withdrawal of a child, otherwise fees will be charged in lieu of the required notice.
