Brief note on sources and missing detail (operational summary)
- The school publishes a detailed 2026–27 Financial Information / School Fees document and issues invoices from its Financial Department; that document contains the full payment schedule, exact termly billing amounts (where applicable), and the precise list of accepted payment methods. The public admissions pages refer families to that Financial Information document for the complete payment schedule. Those detailed invoice/payment schedules were not directly retrievable through the public site pages during this compilation, so the figures above present the school's published annual fee lines and the boarding deposit/refund conditions that are available in public listings and the school admissions pages.
