Fees for Children of Old Johnians

There is currently a 5% discount of the basic fees for the children of Old Johnians.

Fees Reduction for Siblings

There is currently a 10% discount of the basic fees for the second or third child in situations where a family has more than one child at the School at any one time. A sibling discount may be given in addition to an Old Johnian discount.

Paying Fees in Advance

The School operates a scheme which gives a saving to those who pay a capital sum in advance towards their child’s fees. Estimates can be provided of either the capital required to cover a known amount of fees each term, or how much the termly fees’ bill would be reduced by depositing a given sum.

The rate of yield of deposit is guaranteed for the full period of time up to and during the child’s education. Should the child for some reason not come to St John’s, either the agreed amount of secured termly fees can be paid to another school or the deposit can be returned. For further details of this scheme, and for information about any other aspect of fees or expenses, please contact the Bursary.

Payment of Fees

Each termly invoice must be paid in full before the first day of term, or if fees are paid by direct debit, in monthly instalments. A surcharge of 1% will be imposed on the balance of fees remaining unpaid one week after the start of term, and each week thereafter, plus all administration and legal costs in relation to any sums that are unpaid by the due date. The School reserves the right to refuse to allow a pupil to attend, and to withold any references, while fees remain unpaid. A full term’s notice in writing is required before the withdrawal of a pupil or the change of status, otherwise a full term’s fees will be payable. If a pupil is withdrawn from the School without such notice, or if for any reason a pupil leaves the School or is required by the School to leave during the course of the term, no fees are returnable.

A term’s fees will also be payable where a parent fails to provide the required notice of withdrawal, after acceptance of a place. Cases of serious illness or genuine hardship may receive special consideration on written request. Full details of the terms and conditions in relation to the payment of fees and notice requirements are provided in the Parent Contract.

School Fees Refund Scheme

The School Fees Refund Scheme provides insurance cover for a remission of fees for pupils’ absence through illness or injury. Fees will be refunded for each period of absence from the School of more than eight days for a boarder and five days for a day pupil. Details of this scheme may be obtained from the Bursary and participation is provided by payment of a termly charge.

Medical and Insurance Cover

Normal medical attention (including admission to the School Medical Centre) is covered by the fees, and specialist/hospital treatment under the National Health Service will be arranged where necessary. Private medical treatment under such schemes as BUPA is the responsibility of parents. All pupils are included in a Personal Accident Insurance Scheme which includes dental cover. The insurance policies of the School do not cover loss of pupils’ effects. Parents’ Householders’ Comprehensive or All Risks policies should be suitably extended to give adequate cover. Alternatively, the School has arranged access to a Pupils’ Personal Effects Insurance Scheme, details of which may be obtained from the Bursary. Cover is provided through payment of a termly premium.

Parent Contract

The terms and conditions for parents sending their child to St John’s School is available from the School. Further information is available from the Bursar’s Secretary
