Methods of Payment
Parents can choose one of two ways to pay School fees -
1. Annual Lump Sum Payment
Payable before 19 August 2011 by cheque or bank giro credit when a discount of 2% can be taken on tuition fees only. This net sum will be shown on the fee notes issued in July 2011.
2. Direct Debit Instalments
All direct debit collections will be taken over ten months on the first business day of each month from September to June.
If required, please download and return completed direct debit mandate to the Finance Office.
Advance Fees Scheme (Future Years)
The School continues to operate an advanced fees scheme, details of which can be obtained from the Company Secretary.
Debenture
On acceptance of a place at St Columba’s, a Debenture to the value of £350 must be purchased for all new entrants. A refund equivelent to the original value of the Debenture will be made to the registered holder upon written request, when the student finally leaves the school.
Financial Assistance
