Due Date

£13,800 per annum

It is a condition of your contract with the school that all fees invoices must be paid by the first day of each term. For the academic year 2024, the due dates are therefore 5 September 2024, 6 January 2025 and 23 April 2025. In the event of late payment, the rate of interest charged will be at 1.5% per month accruing on a daily basis. This late payment charge will be added to subsequent invoices.

Payment

Fees may be paid by direct transfer into the school’s NatWest bank account. The account number is 00719722 and the sort code 56-00-49. The parent code, shown on the bill as a number, must be quoted as the reference for this payment.

Exeter School no longer accepts credit cards for the payment of school fees. No charge will apply if payment is made by debit card.

Exam Fees

Tuition fees do not include the charges for external examinations, whether modular or linear. These are paid in advance by the school on behalf of the pupil and shown separately on fees invoices.

Notice

As set out in the school’s terms and conditions, one full term’s notice in writing is required before the withdrawal of a pupil from the school, otherwise a full term’s fees in lieu of notice will be due.

Termly Instalment Scheme

A monthly direct debit payment scheme is available to all parents to spread each term’s fees over four monthly payments. The first instalment for the autumn term is taken at the end of July. No charge is made for this convenient method of payment. Parents are strongly encouraged to make use of this facility, the details of which are available from the Finance Bursar.

Personal Accident And Dental Insurance

This covers serious injury of a lasting nature occurring during term time or holidays as well as dental treatment arising as a result of a dental accident or emergency. This is included in the termly fees.

School Fees Refund Scheme

This scheme provides for a proportion of fees to be refunded if five consecutive tuition days or more of schooling are lost because of illness. If you wish to opt out please complete the slip at the bottom of the School Fees Refund Scheme information sheet or notify the Finance Bursar in writing. It should be noted, however, that a decision to opt out is now final: parents cannot opt back in at a later date.

Personal Effects

The school stresses the need to ensure that the pupil’s personal clothing and property (which should also be clearly marked with the pupil’s name) are covered by family insurance. The school’s own policy protects parents only where negligence can be claimed (e.g. watch lost having been handed to a member of staff for safe custody). It is particularly important to cover for lost/stolen bicycles, musical instruments, mobile phones and the like.
