Fees in Advance
We are offering a Fees in Advance Scheme where the cost of your child’s education at King Edward VI Preparatory School can be reduced by making an advanced lump sum payment dependent on the agreed number of terms to which the advance payment applies. If you are interested in finding out more about the scheme please email billing@kes.school
Payment
Payments are by direct debit on the first day of term unless an alternative arrangement has been agreed. Third party companies provide monthly payment options, details of which will be forwarded with the autumn term fee account. Parents are advised to take independent financial advice should they wish to use any third party payment options.
Fees are reviewed annually and parents are given a term’s notice of forthcoming increases.
