I/We have provided the school with all relevant records and information regarding our daughter’s educational and medical records. I/We understand that the school may process personal data about us and our child, including sensitive personal data such as medical details, for the purpose of administering its list of prospective pupils and administering its selection procedures and we consent to the processing of our child’s personal data (including sensitive personal data) for these purposes

I/We understand that:

1. in accepting the offer of a place at the school and paying the deposit we are entering into a legally binding contract, upon the School's terms and conditions for the provision of educational services
2. we must either give one full term’s notice if we decide not to take up the place, or to withdraw our child before the end of Year 6 or pay a full term’s fees in accordance with the school’s terms and conditions*.
3. if our child is currently at another independent school it is our responsibility to ensure that our obligations to that school are honoured in full.

* Notice Requirements

If you wish to withdraw your acceptance of a place BEFORE your child starts at the School you must either give us a term's notice to that effect or pay to the School a term's fees in lieu of notice.  This means that if, for example, your child is due to start at the School in September (at the start of an academic year) then you would need to tell us in writing that you wish to withdraw your acceptance of their place on or before the first day of the preceding summer term (ie, the final term of the previous academic year) or pay the fees in lieu referred to above.

If you wish to withdraw your child from the School (other than at the normal leaving date which is at the end of year 6), you must either give us a term's notice to that effect or pay to the School a term's fees in lieu of notice, at the rate that would have been charged for the final term of provision if a term's notice had been given. The School will credit the deposit you have paid (without interest or any entitlement to repayment under Clause 2.2 above) to the payment of any such fees in lieu of notice. This means that if, for example, you wish to withdraw your child with effect from the start of the autumn term (ie, at the start of an academic year) then you would need to tell us in writing that you wish to withdraw your child on or before the first day of the preceding summer term (ie, the final term of the preceding academic year) or pay the fees in lieu of notice referred to above.

Our Privacy Notice is available via our website

Once a formal offer has been made by the School, pupils will secure admission and entry when the Acceptance Form has been completed and returned and the non-returnable acceptance fee paid (£500). The acceptance fee will be refunded when your daughter leaves the school in Year 6.
