Deposits are retained until leaving
The current fee page says the£1,000 acceptance deposit is held for the pupil’s final-term extras account, with any balance returned. The additional international-pupil deposit is normally credited without interest against final fees or other sums due. The currently linked terms, markedT&C 01/24, say a deposit is normally not refunded if a pupil does not take up the place, with a limited vacancy-refilled exception and possible cancellation charges. Obtain the applicable acceptance contract; neither deposit is an automatic reduction of the first tuition invoice.

Billing dates and conditional discounts
Fees are due by the first day of each term; late or incomplete payment normally attracts 1.5% for each month or part-month. The 2% single-year advance-payment scheme required registration by 1 May 2026 and payment by 29 May 2026, so that offer has expired for this review. A 10% UK-boarding sibling discount has its own conditions and is applied to the eldest child or children when siblings attend together. No discount is applied automatically to the main rates; multi-year terms are available only on request.

Acceptance and additional international deposits
| Acceptance deposit | £1,000 |

Do not treat either as an unconditional immediate cash refund. The source does not separately state a VAT rate for deposits.
