Notice to Increase Fees
The fees will be reviewed from time to time, normally on an annual basis, and may be increased by such amount as the governors consider necessary and reasonable. We shall endeavour to give at least a term’s notice of any increases in the fees due for a particular term and in any event shall give you notice of any such increases not later than the final day of the preceding term.

FAQ's about Billing

How am I charged for music lessons?

Billing is applied in arrears to your school fees bill. In an effort to improve the way we charge for music lessons, from spring term 2011, fees that are applied to your account will be for lessons actually delivered.

For example, if your child has only received 8 lessons during the autumn term, you will be billed for 8 lessons. Conversely, if they have received 12 lessons for example, you will be billed for 12. This means that we will no longer need to adjust in the summer term and should make our billing simpler and clearer.

Please note that if your child is absent for a music lesson, the charge will still be applied to your bill.
