Fees

  • The annual fees are payable in two instalments; one half on the first day of the Autumn term and the other half on the following 1 February.

  • Subject to what is stated below, the fees for the school year 2012/2013 will be

Day pupils               €2,950 per annum / €1,475 per half year

Boarders – 7 day boarding     €9,850 per annum/  €4,925 per half year

Boarders – 5 day boarding     €7,940 per annum / €3,970 per half year
  

 Parents and guardians agree to pay each half year's fees in advance and if withdrawing a pupil to three months notice of withdrawal in writing or pay a third of a year's fees in lieu of notice.


Pupils who are not recognised by the Department of Education and Skills will be charged an additional €40. Stationery supplied to pupils will be charged at the rate of €17.50 per half year.  The school cannot accept liability for the loss or damage of personal property of any kind. All pupils will be covered by a Personal Accident Insurance Scheme costing each about €8 annually.

 

  • Interest on overdue accounts will be charged at the rate of 2% per month or part of a month.

 

  • Where fees are being paid in cash, this should be handed personally to
    the administrator or the school secretary who will provide a receipt. Where this is not observed, the Board will not be responsible for any loss.  Fees sent by post should be addressed to the Secretary.

 

  • It is impossible to forecast accurately the extent that costs will increase. Therefore the Board reserves the right to review the fees quoted in paragraph 2 during the year. It hopes that such a review will not be necessary but it cannot allow a situation to arise where expenditure will exceed income.

 

  • The following reductions will be granted where more than one member of a family is attending the school:

    10% of the fees (less State Grant) for two members
    20% of the fees (less State Grant) for three members
    30% of the fees (less State Grant) for four or more members

 

  • Parents may claim remission of school fees where pupils are absent during term for more than 7 school days due to illness. A doctor’s certificate will be required.


  • A €100 fee must accompany application forms for admission which is non-refundable. When a pupil is offered a place in the school a deposit (€200 for a day pupil and €400 for a boarder) must be paid with the acceptance form. The deposit will be deductible from the final account.  If the pupil does not avail of a place offered, this fee will not be returned except in special circumstances.

  • Extras:   Sports requisites, breakages, incidental expenses and some text books are extras. They are charged for in the account received after they are incurred.  The charge for laundry will be included in each boarder’s fees. A proportion of the cost of educational trips, travelling to ‘away’ matches, and other sporting events will be charged as extras.

  • Grants:  A block grant is administered on a means-test by the Secondary Education Committee, Grants Section, c/o Church of Ireland House, Church Avenue, Rathmines, Dublin 6. Grant application forms are available from the Principal. The Principal may have information about other sources of assistance available in certain circumstances and should be contacted when unforeseen difficulty regarding payment of fees has occurred.
