Fees
Parents are invoiced monthly in advance and payment is required within seven working days.
Every booked session must be paid for regardless of child attendance. One month’s notice is required if places are to be withdrawn. Once sessions have been booked, changes can be made from the following term, subject to a minimum of four week’s notice unless it is to add additional sessions.
RCS is registered with Ofsted. This means we are subject to regular inspections to ensure that the education we provide and the practice we follow are to a required standard. Please contact us to discuss availability.
