Fees and the first-year budget

The public page still labels its €5,580 tuition figure as 2024/25 and links a 2025/26 policy. Neither establishes a 2026/27 annual price. It lists a €200 non-refundable registration fee after an introductory meeting, then a €500 deposit due within fourteen days of the place confirmation. The deposit is normally refundable on leaving after financial obligations are settled, but is retained if the application is withdrawn.

Notice must be served or the corresponding fees paid. Summer withdrawal after confirming the next year's place can forfeit the deposit. Group 7 also has a compulsory camp with an extra parent contribution; request the current amount.
