An additional charge of €360 will be included in the school fees for students in Year 10 and Year 12 this year, and also Year 11 and Year 13 in subsequent years. This fee goes towards covering course-related expenses for GCSE and AS/A Level examination courses, such as supplementary resources, exam fees and materials incurred by the school during the examination periods.
Application feeA non-refundable payment of €250 is due upon submission of your application. This is to cover the review and administration of the application. An application is not reviewed until this is paid. Should an application be unsuccessful, the application fee is not refunded.
Enrolment feeWhen a place is offered, a non-refundable enrolment fee of €750 is due for families joining Nursery or Reception. For families joining Years 1-12, the fee is €2,000. Once this fee is paid the place is guaranteed. Families transferring from Reception to Year 1 will be invoiced an additional €1,250 with the Year 1 School Fees.
However, if your child was enrolled prior to September 2022 and you were on the refundable deposit system, you will receive an invoice for €1,000 if your child is transferring from Nursery to Reception in September 2024. This is because the full non-refundable deposit for Reception onwards is €2,500.

- Payment Term 1 (Autumn Term) due 3 July 2024
- Payment Term 2 (Spring Term) due 9 October 2024

Late payment protocol
If school fees and other charges fall into arrears, the school reserves the right to send the entire amount due to the school’s debt collections agency and to refuse admittance to the school. All costs of the debt collection agency will be for the parent.
This late payment protocol applies similarly to the invoicing of extras (for school lunches and trips).
In the situation where there is an outstanding debt, any payment made will always be paid towards the oldest outstanding amount that is due/payable.
No school records or reports will be issued until all fees and other charges have been satisfactorily settled. The due date of invoices will not change if a request for a change in the invoice is made.
Other additional costs
School Trips
All school trips that are a compulsory part of the curriculum are included in the school fees.

Optional trips are not covered by the School Fees and will be invoiced separately. Pupils will not be allowed to attend the trip unless payment in full has been made before the trip takes place.
