“I just wanted to say that our connections with Felsted have been outstanding since the first time we contacted you which has made us more confident it is the right school for our son. Having worked in the service industry for many years, building a unique culture and core purpose and executing this across all parent pupil touch-points takes effort as well as belief in what you are doing. This is what helped finalise our decision over another leading school.”
Payment of School Fees in Advance
The School offers the option of paying for school fees in advance rather than making termly or monthly payments. The payer can be the parents or guardian of the child or anyone else who wishes to make a single lump sum payment to help with the cost of education for the child.
In return for a lump sum payment the School offers a credit to be applied against each term’s fees for a set number of terms. The difference between the total amount due each term (including increases in fees and any extras) and the credit applied will be shown on the termly fee bill. Payment of any such differences shall be made at the beginning of each term in accordance with the School’s standard terms and conditions.
The minimum period for payment by a lump sum is three terms’ fees up to a maximum of 15 terms fees. We normally assume that fees will increase by 4% per annum for the purposes of calculating the value of future fees; this can be changed if you wish.
Please contact the Finance Manager for details of the current discount available. The discount is not guaranteed by the Governors at any time in respect of contracts not already entered into, however, the discount is guaranteed for the duration of the investment. Under current tax legislation, the discount is allowed free of tax. There are other ways of meeting the costs of a child’s education and we recommend that parents and guardians should consult their professional adviser when deciding to enter the scheme or not.
The payment of a lump sum for the provision of a future fee credit does not in itself guarantee a child a place in the School, nor does it in any way alter the terms of entry to the School or entitle the child to preferential treatment. If the child is not offered/does not accept an offer/or leaves the School for whatever reason a refund will be made.
