Payment of Fees

There are three methods of paying fees, in advance by the first day of term by cheque, by Direct Debit over 10 months or by Debit or Credit Card. If paying by cheque please make cheque payable to Plymouth College. There is a 2% fee if paying by Credit Card. 

Any queries on fees in advance should be addressed to The Bursar.

The Direct Debit payment is collected on the 4th of each month (September - June). There is an admin fee of £4 per child per month. A Direct Debit form can be downloaded here. The College will need to receive a completed Direct Debit mandate at least 2 weeks before the first collection date.

Parents resident overseas whose children are boarders are asked to make arrangements for the payment of fees through a bank or other authority in Britain.

If you require the College Bank details, or wish to pay by Debit or Credit Card , please ring the Bursary, specifically the Accounts Office, on 01752 505112.

Pupils whose fees are overdue are liable to exclusion, and any bursary or scholarship may be forfeited, until payment has been made.

The College charges a fee for public examinations and the normal arrangement for this is to charge one third of the fee in each of the terms in the year in which the public examination is taken. This fee simply covers the charge made to the college by the Examining Board.

Registration Fee and Refundable Deposits

For all day and boarding pupils there is a non-refundable registration fee of £75.  In addition, there is a deposit payable on acceptance of a place of £750 for all boarders and £200 for Senior School day pupils, The deposit is refunded on the first term's fees when the place is taken up.

Book Deposit

A deposit of £100 is also payable when the pupil joins the school and will be shown on the first term's fees. This amount is refundable on his/her leaving and covers any sums then due in respect of books lost, music fees, or other small miscellaneous charges.
