Frequently Asked Questions
| IS VAT ADDED TO CLUBS? |
|---|
| Where a separate charge is made for a School club which involves tuition and/or coaching, VAT legislation deems this a taxable supply and we will be required to add VAT at 20% to the fee charged. |
| IS VAT CHARGED ON PUBLIC EXAMINATION CHARGES AND BOOKS? |
| Where the School charges a fee for public examinations (such as ABRSM or LAMDA) or where a charge is made for books or stationery, these fees will be treated as exempt from VAT. |
| WILL THE SCHOOL CHARGE VAT ON LAPTOP RENTAL? |
| Where a pupil is renting a laptop from the School, VAT legislation deems this a taxable supply and we are required to add VAT at 20% to the fee charged. |
| Do you offer sibling discounts? |
| We do not offer sibling discounts; however, we do consider any siblings at the School when assessing applications for means-tested bursaries. |
| When are fees due? |
| Invoices are sent out approximately four weeks prior to the start of each term. Payment is due by the first day of term. |
| What options do I have for paying school fees? |
| The preferred method of paying school fees is by termly Direct Debit. If you wish to discuss paying fees by direct bank transfer or an alternative instalment plan, please contact our Accounts department. |
| Does the School offer any insurance plans? |
|
Personal Accident Insurance: All pupils are covered by the Students’ Personal Accident Insurance Scheme, which is provided free of charge by the School. Fee Insurance: The School operates an ‘opt-in’ policy for the School Fee Protection Scheme. The premium charged for this cover is 0.73% of termly (VAT inclusive) fees. This is to safeguard the fees paid by parents in the event of the absence of a pupil through illness or accident for four or more consecutive dayes. Fee Insurance does not cover a claim caused by, or relating to, pandemics (including Covid-19). Application and claim forms are obtainable from accounts@kesbath.com. The Governors have implemented this policy to safeguard the fees paid by parents under such circumstances and confirm that a refund of fees will not be approved other than through this Scheme. Insurance of Pupils’ Property: Parents are strongly advised to arrange an extension of their household contents policy to cover their child’s clothes, personal effects, bicycles etc while at school, as these are not covered by the School’s own insurance policy. |
| Do you offer a ‘Fees in Advance Scheme’? |
|
The School does operate a fees in advance (FIA) scheme for parents whose children are in the School and who would like to consider paying for future terms' fees in advance. If any parent would like to know more about our FIA scheme, they can email Dave Clipson in our Finance Team to obtain more details on this. |
