School
fees include tuition, materials,
educational visits (but not residential
courses), sports and educational travel,
swimming lessons, most clubs and
societies.
Notes
All
fees are payable in advance, before the
first day of the term for which they are
due.
Unless by prior arrangement, fees
not so paid are subject to a surcharge
of 2% compound interest for each
complete or partial month outstanding.
There is an allowance of 5% on the
tuition fees of second siblings as long
as an older child is at the School. This
will be calculated on the net general
fees where scholarship or other
allowances are deducted and will apply
to both boarders and day pupils. A
further discount is available for third
and subsequent children; details are
available from the Bursar. There is a
10% reduction for children of Church of
England clergy and a 10% reduction for
children of members of HM Forces.
A full
term’s notice in writing is required
before the removal of a pupil or when
changing from boarding to day pupil or
vice versa. A full term’s fees will be
payable if a pupil is withdrawn without
notice. Various methods of paying fees
are available, including monthly instalments. Details may be obtained
from the Bursar.
The Board of Governors
reserves the right to alter fees without
notice before or after a pupil’s
admission. However, every effort will be
made to give a term’s notice of
variation.
Extras
School lunches are compulsory and a
charge is made each term in advance
(currently £124
per term). In the case of optional
extras, a term’s notice in writing of
commencement or discontinuation must be
given to the School.
Emergency
expenses, external examination charges
and any special purchases made at the
written direction of parents will be
charged on the next bill.
Entry
Deposit
In common with other independent
schools, when a pupil joins the School a
deposit is required which will be
credited to the pupil's account and
returned after (s)he has left the
School, less any outstanding fees or
charges. Once a pupil has been
registered and the deposit paid, no
additional deposit will be required.
On the completion of the necessary
documents and on the payment of the
entry deposit, the pupil's name is
entered into the School's Admissions
Register for pupils due to start their
schooling.
The entry of a pupil's name in the
Admissions Register marks a binding
contract between the parents/guardians
and the School that the pupil will be
commencing studies at the School.
Entry deposits are not refundable in the
event of the pupil's name being
withdrawn from the Admissions Register
at any stage prior to the time when the
pupil is due to start.
Cheque Payments
All
cheques should be made payable to
“Rishworth School ”.
Insurance
Fees:
No
reduction of fees is made by the School
for absence through illness. Parents are
recommended to join an Insurance Scheme
to cover fees in the event of absence
due to illness.
Personal
Effects: Pupils’
possessions, effects and baggage are not
insured by the Governors against loss or
damage, either on school property,
elsewhere or in transit to and from
school. Parents are strongly advised to
obtain such insurance which can usually
be done simply through an extension on
their own “all risks ” policies..
Personal
Accident: The
School maintains a Pupils’ Personal
Accident Insurance Policy to give cover
in the event of specified serious
injuries occurring. The cover is
operative whenever the pupil is engaged
in any activity, arranged at or through
the School, within the UK. Details of
benefits can be supplied on request.
