Fee-paying parent life insurance scheme

The College operates a fee-paying parent life insurance scheme whereby, upon the death of the fee-paying parent, the residual tuition and boarding fees of the student are indemnified. The scheme is available to all fee-paying parents/guardians (excluding those with pre-existing terminal illness). There is no additional cost as the scheme is covered by the tuition and boarding fees.

School fees medical insurance scheme

The College operates a school fees medical insurance scheme whereby, if a student is absent for any period in excess of two weeks, the tuition and boarding fees are refunded. The scheme is optional and those fee-paying parents/guardians wishing to take advantage of the scheme need to complete a separate application form included in the information pack. The premium is set at 2.5% of the appropriate fee. The premium is recovered in four equal instalments invoiced at the start of each term. It should be noted that, as premiums are paid in advance, a term's notice is required for any withdrawal.

Disbursements

There are expenses incurred by students over and above the tuition/boarding fees. These are recovered via the student's Disbursement Account. Personal shopping outside the College may NOT be charged to this Account. Disbursement Accounts are strictly monthly. A breakdown of the major items is set out below.
