PAYMENT OF SCHOOL FEES – DIRECT DEBIT SCHEME

Full details about the payment of fees, together with direct debit mandate forms, will be mailed to all parents in early June 2012 but, in brief, the main points to note are as follows:

All parents with UK bank accounts must pay fees by direct debit. All new parents, and existing parents not previously signed up to the direct debit scheme, will be asked to complete and return mandates to the Bursar’s Office by 13th July 2012.  For existing parents already on the direct debit scheme, the mandate completed previously will automatically apply to any siblings joining the Academy this year, so no further action is necessary and the mandate should not be cancelled.

Parents who are unable to pay by direct debit, for whatever reason, must obtain written exemption from the Bursar’s Office. Fees not paid by direct debit are expected to be paid by cheque or debit card in full by, or on, the first day of the term for which they are due.

Direct debit payments entail 9 monthly instalments (3 per term). Additional charges, e.g. Music tuition or expenditure incurred by boarders, will be debited in full with the first payment of each term. Fees will be charged as follows:

A fee account, detailing all charges, will be sent out prior to the beginning of each term.

Parents with overseas bank accounts should contact the Fees Administrator for the Academy’s bank details for international transfers [01259 742401 / raeburn-me@dollaracademy.org.uk]

Interest of 2% per month will be charged an all outstanding balances, and parents should be aware that, depending on the circumstances, should they regularly default on direct debit payments they may be required to leave the scheme and pay fees in full by the start of each term.

A full term’s written notice of the withdrawal of a pupil is required, failing which one term’s fees in lieu of notice will be charged for both tuition and boarding, as appropriate.

Any queries about the direct debit scheme and fee payments in general should be directed to the Fees Administrator on 01259 742401, or email raeburn-me@dollaracademy.org.uk  If, at any point, parents need to stop paying fees by direct debit, the Bursar’s Office must be notified at least 7 days before the next payment is due.
