PAYMENT OF FEES
All fees should be paid by the first day of each term. Late payment will result in interest charges being added to the account. A pupil may be excluded from the school if at any

NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL
Parents are required to provide the school with one academic term's written notice of withdrawal from the school, of withdrawal from extra subjects, or of change of status from boarding to day: that is, notice should be received by the school before the first day of term, to be effective at the end of that term. A full term's fees will otherwise be payable in lieu of this required notice.
SCHOLARSHIPS
Scholarships awarded are reviewed regularly on the basis of the pupil's progress and commitment to Beechwood Sacred Heart School and such scholarships may be withdrawn if
the school believes that the pupil concerned is not achieving their expectation. No withdrawal or reduction of scholarship will be made without full consultation with the parents.
GUARDIANSHIP
All parents based overseas should appoint for their child a Guardian who resides permanently in the UK and with whom their child can stay during any holiday breaks from
school and at other times when necessary.
If the guardian is unable to look after their daughter during holiday periods or parents are unable to provide a suitable guardian, they should use the services of a recommended
guardianship service.
MISCONDUCT
In a case of serious or persistent misconduct, the school reserves the right to request the removal of a pupil from the school. In this event, the fees for that term and the pupil's
deposit are not refundable.
