Conditions and Terms of Admission Parents wishing their son to visit the School for an informal interview and assessment should contact the School Secretary, through whom all enquiries are made. Relevant academic and psychological reports should be presented. Evidence of talent or promise in such areas as music, art or sport is also welcomed. Entry is of necessity selective. Pupils must show that they have the innate intelligence to manage the demanding academic routine for which they will ultimately be heading, and that they are equipped to cope with the teaching programme and School routine, as evidenced by a recent Educational Psychologist's Assessment. This Assessment, which is required for every prospective pupil, must have been conducted within the last six months by an Educational Psychologist known to the School (or by the School's own Educational Psychologist, Mr. Peter Gilchrist), and must give full details of the pupil's abilities and difficulties in learning, and current attainments in spelling, writing and numeracy. Arrangements will be made for those pupils wishing to be considered for entry to meet with, and have their current Assessment reviewed by, the School's own Educational Psychologist. Unless a further full or partial Assessment is required, there will be no charge for this review. The offer of a place is confirmed on receipt of a non-refundable Registration Fee, which is deductible from the first term's fees. Fees, which are of necessity high and reflect the smaller form sizes and specialist teaching offered by the School, are reviewed annually and are inclusive of all extras except individual sessions, if required, with Speech, Language or Occupational Therapists, and individual lessons in instrumental music, or sporting activities such as riding, golf, clay pigeon shooting, etc. Personal extra expenses incurred may be charged to the termly bill. Fees are payable two weeks before the start of each term. In the event of late payment, interest may be charged. One term's notice in writing is required of a decision to withdraw a boy from the School, and a full term's fees will be charged in lieu of this notice. No remission of fees may be granted to absence through illness, but parents may insure against this loss. Details of the School Fees Protection Scheme are available from the School. The School reserves the right to require the removal of any boy it feels to be unsuited to the School community. In the event that this decision arises from serious misconduct, the fees for the term in question cannot be refunded. Parents are deemed to be collectively and severally responsible for paying the fees. By signing the Registration Form and accepting the offer of a place in the School, they are also deemed to have understood and agreed to the conditions and terms set out in this prospectus.
