Request for Documentation from School

Should you require any documentation from the school about your child, please inform us in writing and provide adequate notice.

Transfer Certificates

If your child is transferring to another school due to family relocation, please inform your child’s form tutor in the first instance. Please also inform the Head teacher of the relevant section and the Admissions Department in writing in good time before your child’s withdrawal from school.

We require a minimum of one term’s notice for exit documentation, references, transcripts and reports to be prepared. Please note that this documentation will only be provided once all school fees are paid and all books and equipment belonging to the school have been returned.

Your child’s form tutor will assist with the necessary exit arrangements before he or she leaves the school.

Registration Fees

A non-refundable registration fee is required for all new students joining the BSB.

In the event of a child being scheduled to join the school after the mid-term point, the Registration Fee and half the term’s tuition fee will be payable. Books/Resource Deposit: a refundable deposit of a 50 BHD along with registration fees.

Tuition Fees

The British School of Bahrain is a private, independent school where fees are charged for enrolment and attendance. The levels of fees charged are approved by the Ministry of Education and are reviewed annually. We are required to submit applications for fee increases to the Ministry of Private Education for approval. All tuition fees must be paid at our Accounts Office, in accordance with the invoice due date. The date is indicated on the invoice in the British date format i.e. dd/mm/yy. The preferred method of payment is by cash cheque directly at the School’s Accounts Department. Cheques should be made payable to “The British School of Bahrain”.

Parents who pay by electronic transfer are requested to quote the invoice number and student name as transaction reference and submit a receipt of this transaction to the Accounts Department. It is requested that no direct deposits are made to the school’s bank account.

Misplacement or non-receipt of the original invoice is not considered a valid reason for failure to pay the fees by the due date.

Tuition fees for the term are payable in full regardless of sickness or absence for other reasons (including study leave). Where payment has been made by cheque and the issued cheque is not honoured by the bank for whatever reason, a further administration charge of BD25 will be levied.

In the event of the non-payment of school fees by the due date, the school reserves the right to remove the student from the school roll and offer the place to a student on the waiting list.
