Fees
Annual tuition at Richmond Park School ranges from EUR 0 for 2026/27.
Application / registration fees - A registration (enrolment) fee is charged at the point of registration. The school's public materials confirm a registration charge is required but do not publish a fixed amount for the registration fee.
Tuition fees by year group and per term - Richmond Park School operates a single tuition quota model rather than publishing separate, itemised termly fees by year group. The single quota covers core academic fees, insurance, meals (except Breakfast Club), swimming lessons within the curriculum, and materials and books for the British curriculum. The school's public materials do not list separate per-term or per-year tuition figures by year group.
Billing schedule and payment terms - Tuition is billed as a single quota and collected in 10 equal monthly instalments from September to June (inclusive), payable at the beginning of each month. Parents must accept the school's payment policy at enrolment.
Boarding fees - Richmond Park School does not operate a boarding provision; boarding fees are not applicable. The school's published information sets out day-school hours and day services.
Other costs and regular additional charges - Uniforms: Uniforms are supplied through an external supplier (E-Uniforms); the school provides the uniform specification and parents purchase items separately. Swimming costumes/uniforms are sold at the school. Specific uniform prices are not published in the school's general fee information. - Books and curriculum materials: The single quota includes books and materials for the British curriculum. Books and materials for the Spanish curriculum are not included and are charged separately. - School transport: Transport is not included in the single quota and is charged separately. Route maps and arrangements are published but individual transport prices are handled as a separate service. - Extra-curricular activities and clubs: Clubs and extra-curricular activities are not included in the single quota (with the exception that Morning Clubs are free). Prices for extra-curricular activities are billed monthly and will be charged through the regular monthly billing. Examples from the school's published activity documents include one-off registration fees and monthly charges for specific clubs (for example: a 20€ registration fee for some activities; municipal league monthly fees shown at 78€/month; sport-team uniform packages shown at about 120€; and staged reservation payments for some clubs such as 200€ in September, 200€ in January and 150€ in April for certain sports programmes). These amounts apply to specific activities and are additional to the single tuition quota. - Breakfast Club: Full-month charge is 64€ per month; occasional use is charged at 6€ per day. These charges are invoiced to the family account. - Stay & Play (after-school supervised collection 16:30–17:30): Full-month charge is 64€ per month; occasional use is 6€ per day. If the service is used without prior notice there is a 10€ charge for the first 20 minutes and an additional 10€ thereafter up to the service end time. - Summer school and short programmes: Summer school and short-course prices are published for each programme; for example, the school's summer programme documents list multi-week package prices and show a non‑refundable deposit policy for the summer programme (a stated deposit of 200€ described as non-refundable except for certified medical reasons). Summer-programme payments, instalments and cancellation terms are specified in each programme form.
Refunds and cancellations - A general tuition refund schedule (for annual tuition or the single quota) is not published in the school's public fee information. Specific programmes show their own refund/cancellation rules: for example, the summer school registration form states a 200€ deposit that is non-refundable except for documented medical causes and that the school reserves the right to cancel a programme and return payments. Refund or withdrawal terms for standard annual tuition are set by the school's payment policy but are not itemised with fixed refund tables in the publicly-available material.
Fee payment options - The school accepts payments only by SEPA direct debit or by bank transfer in accordance with applicable regulations; credit-card payment is not listed as an accepted method in the published payment terms. Parents are required to agree to the school's payment policy at the time of enrolment. Extra-curricular third-party providers and summer programmes may require transfers to separate bank accounts as indicated on their programme forms.
