School Fees

On application, a non-refundable charge of £100 (which will be collected in EGP equivalent) will be levied to cover administration/assessment costs.

There are points of admission when a registration fee, which is non-refundable, is payable:

• On transferring from Foundation to Reception.
• On all other admissions year groups
• A child re-entering the school will not be required to pay a second registration fee however, a place cannot be guaranteed if term fees have not been paid in the period of absence.
• A place in the school is not guaranteed until receipt of the appropriate registration fee, prior to that the child's name is placed on a waiting list.

Tuition Fees may be paid annually or in three equal instalments. Fees are in Pound Sterling. Invoices for a new child will be issued upon acceptance of registration and are due prior to the first day of attendance.

Children starting at anytime in the first half of a term will pay the full term’s fee; whilst those starting after half term will pay 50% of the term’s fees. 10% discount will be given for the 4th child whilst there are 4 children registered at MBIS.

Payment 1   Invoices will be sent electronically (and by hard copy) one-month before the end of Term 3 of the current academic year.  Due date – one-week before the start of Term 1.

Payment 2    Invoices will be sent electronically (and by hard copy) one-month before the end of Term 1.  Due date – one-week before the start of Term 2.

Payment 3   Invoices will be sent electronically (and by hard copy) one-month   before the end of the Spring Term.  Due date – one-week before the start of Term 3.

Due dates for payment will depend upon term dates and will be clearly communicated to parents.

In the event of a force majeure, which causes a pupil to be withdrawn from the school, any fees paid for the school year will not be refunded and any unpaid fees due will be payable.  The definition of a force majeure – an event or effect that cannot be reasonably anticipated or controlled, e.g. civil disturbance, acts of war, earthquakes, civil/political/military events, labour unrest, or extreme weather conditions.  This is to ensure that the Society can continue operating until the force majeure has passed.

Children’s places in a class will not be guaranteed until full payment of the fees due have been received. 

MBIS will not issue reports or any other school records if any fees are outstanding. If any fees are outstanding by more than one-month, students will not be permitted to attend class until the outstanding fees  have been paid in full. Should the situation persist, the Board will refer the matter to the school lawyer to pursue collection of the fees.  All costs related to this action will be the responsibility of the family and will be added to their bill. 

Parents with extenuating circumstances requesting any exception to the above policy should apply to the Head of Corporate Services in writing, explaining the extenuating circumstances.
