Payment of Fees and Extras

Due Date: Each term’s invoice for fees and extras is due for payment by the first day of term.
Payment Arrangements: The Foundation prefers that termly invoices be paid by Direct Debit. An alternative arrangement available for parents is provided by Holmwoods Termtime Collections (‘HTC’), wherein HTC pays the fees to the Foundation on the first day of term on behalf of participating parents and parents in turn repay HTC monthly via Direct Debit. Information about these arrangements, including forms, can be obtained from: The Fees Manager, Mill Hill School Foundation, Walker House, Millers Close, The Ridgeway, London NW7 1AQ (tel: 020 8959 8131)
Late Payment Charge on Overdue Accounts: The Foundation will charge up to 1.5% per calendar month on any outstanding account balances which are past due (due date is the first day of term).
Extras: Parents should note that half a term’s written notice is required to discontinue an extra, or half a term’s fees for the extra will be immediately payable in lieu as a debt.
