It is Governors’ policy to maintain these published fee levels throughout the Academic Year to which they relate.

The intention is that the fees structure should be clear and straightforward, avoiding wherever possible the levying of charges for services and activities as ‘extras’. This ensures that the costs of each term’s education will be known in advance, with no additions of which parents are unaware.

The following are thus included in the Standard Fee:

activities which form part of the curriculum; books and stationery supporting the curriculum and most materials required for Art and CDT: copies of the Kent College Times sent free of charge to each household: all meals for boarding pupils and lunches for Infant and Junior day pupils: personal accident insurance for pupils: bedding and internal laundry services for boarders: trips which are designated by the school to be obligatory in support of the curriculum, eg visits and field trips: and costs associated with representing the school in designated sports fixtures and events. A contribution will be required for residential trips.

Payment of fees is due on the first day of each term, as printed on the fees invoice: details of schemes for phased payment of fees by Standing Order or Direct Debit are available on request.
