Funding
We offer 15 hours of Government funding towards the cost of Preschool fees for 3 and 4-year-olds. For further details of this please speak with our accounts department who will be happy to assist you.
Deposits & Notice Periods
Please note that, in the event of the place being accepted and then cancelled, in writing, prior to entry, the deposit will be retained by the school. If the place is accepted and then cancelled, in writing, prior to entry with less than a term’s notice, the deposit will be retained by the school and a term’s fees in lieu will be due.
A term’s notice in writing to the Head (headmaster@holmwood.house) is required before the removal of a child; otherwise a term’s fees may be charged in lieu.
Reduced fees are charged for a third child and subsequent children, while they are attending Holmwood House at the same time as their siblings (please request further details from the Registrar).
Scholarships & Bursaries
Holmwood House offers scholarships to current and incoming children in Year 7. Please contact the Registrar for more information on this.
Bursaries are only awarded in very exceptional circumstances and reserved for children already attending Holmwood House.
Boarding
Pupils in Years 5-9 can board as follows:
7, 8 & 9 – Tuesday
5 & 6 – Thursday
The boarding prices include dinner, bed & breakfast, supervised activities and laundry for those boarding on particular nights. Please note that 48 hours’ notice is required if cancelling a boarding night, otherwise you will be charged for that night.
If your child does not regularly stay after 4pm, we can arrange for them to stay as part of the activity program and this is charged accordingly. If your child is due to board, we will automatically assume that they will be staying as part of the activities programme unless you advise us otherwise.
Year 4s will be invited to board on specific evenings throughout the year, but are not able to regularly board.
Payment
Fees are payable termly in advance on the first day of term. Payment may be made by BACS, Standing Orders or Credit Card.
Delays in the payment of fees are punitive to the majority who pay promptly. The School reserves the right to charge a late payment administration charge (‘LPAC”) of £25 if an invoice or other additional charge invoice amount owed to the school is not received on or before the due date.
A further charge of £25 will be levied if the fee remains unpaid for a further four (4) weeks after the parents / billpayer is notified of the first LPAC and every four weeks thereafter that the debt remains unpaid.
For all overdue amounts greater than £500, The School reserves the right to charge interest at the Bank of England Base Rate +3%. This interest will be calculated on a daily interest basis from the first day the balance was due until the date the debt is paid.
The school reserves the right to exclude a pupil until such time as the fees have been paid.
Learning Support
Individual learning support tuition incurs an extra termly charge of £255 for one lesson per week. Parents will always be consulted before extra tuition is provided.
Music Tuition
Individual music tuition is provided by the peripatetic music teachers who are self-employed and invoice separately for their services.
All music and LAMDA lessons are charged at £19.50 per half hour lesson. Terms vary in length but there will generally be 10-12 lessons per term. Peris often opt not to teach in the first/last weeks of term.
If an instrument is hired from the school, a charge of £40 per term will be made.
