Registration and Enrolment of New Pupils – Charges and Deposit

• Parents are required to complete and return a registration form along with a £120 including VAT (non-refundable) registration fee to request a place at The Granville Pre-School.

Registration fees are not charged where ONLY the 15 hours’ Free Early Education place is taken; however, a deposit of £1,000 is still required but will be refunded within 6 weeks of taking up the place. Please note that cancellation of a reserved place will forfeit the deposit.
• Early Years Only: If the child increases from accessing only the Free Early Education space to full morning or all-day sessions the registration and deposit will become due and payable immediately.

• A full term’s notice in writing and addressed to the Headmistress must be given in the event of a pupil being withdrawn from the School or from extra subjects. Otherwise, a full term’s fees will be payable in lieu whenever a full term’s notice is not given.
• Parents who wish to make advance payment of tuition fees for a set number of future terms, are advised to read the School’s advance fee policy terms and conditions under the Fees section of the School’s website.
• The School is mindful that families can encounter life changing events that impact their financial situation. Please contact the School at the earliest opportunity if you are expecting financial hardship. All enquiries of this nature will be treated in the strictest confidence. Please email the Bursar at bursar@granvilleschool.org.

*The School reserves the right to exclude from the School any child for whom fees have not been paid. Should any parents have difficulty with the payment of fees, they should contact the Bursar so that appropriate arrangements can be discussed.

Extras

*This charge covers a minimum of ten lessons at the times indicated, however, owing to the varying length of terms, it may not be possible to achieve ten lessons per term. Any shortfall will be made up during longer terms. Lessons of less than 30 minutes or those in groups will be charged pro-rata and rounded. LAMDA is subject to VAT up to Year 3 as curriculum subject. After Year 3 LAMDA will not be charged VAT.

** Ballet is a curriculum subject until the end of Year 3, after which parents must notify the School that their child will be continuing with Ballet. Ballet is subject to VAT up to Year 3 as a curriculum subject. After Year 3 Ballet will not be charged VAT.

A full term’s notice in writing, addressed to the specific Music Teacher (for Music) or the Headmistress (for Ballet) must be given in the event of a pupil being withdrawn from Music and/or Ballet or the School. Otherwise, a full term’s Music and/or Ballet fees will be payable in lieu whenever a full term’s notice is not given.

Whilst we encourage children to follow extra subjects, please bear in mind the ability of your child and be careful that you do not ask her to do so much that her curricular work is put at risk.
