request that the College sponsors the Pupil to enter and study in the United Kingdom: (a) the Parents’ completion of the acceptance form will be deemed to constitute confirmation that the Pupil has the legal right to be in the United Kingdom and attend the College; and (b) the Parents will provide the College with such documentation as the College may reasonably require to evidence the Pupil’s legal right to be in the UK and attend the College and will inform the College immediately of any change in visa status. (iii) The provision of false information regarding the Pupil’s nationality or immigration status will be considered a material breach of the Parent Contract. (iv) If the Pupil is found not to be in possession of the correct leave to be in the United Kingdom, the Pupil may be required to leave the College on immediate notice and without refund of the acceptance deposit or Fees paid. (v) Where the Pupil holds a Child Student visa that is sponsored by the College the Parents shall immediately inform the College of any intended or actual change in the Pupil’s accommodation arrangements during their period of sponsorship; (vi) If the Pupil holds a Child Student visa sponsored by the College, the Pupil may be required to leave the College on immediate notice and without refund of the acceptance deposit or any other Fees paid if the Parents: (a) have arranged accommodation for the Pupil which does not meet the requirements of the Child Student Immigration Rules; or (b) are uncooperative or act in a way that might jeopardise the College’s licence to act as a sponsor (e.g. a refusal or delay in providing relevant information or documentation). Meaning: Pastoral care is a theme that runs throughout all aspects of life at the College and is directed towards the happiness, success, safety and welfare of each pupil and the integrity of the College community. Equal Treatment: The College welcomes pupils from many different ethnic groups, backgrounds and creeds and acknowledges its statutory obligation to make reasonable adjustments to accommodate the needs of pupils who have disabilities. Ethos: The College seeks to foster good relationships between members of staff, between the pupils themselves and between members of staff and pupils. Bullying, harassment, victimisation and discrimination are not tolerated. The College and its staff will act fairly in relation to pupils and parents and we expect the same of pupils and parents in relation to the College and its staff. The College’s anti-bullying policies are available on request from the Master’s Office and are on the College’s website. Our Commitment: We will do all that is reasonable to safeguard and promote the Pupil’s welfare and to provide pastoral care to at least the standard required by law in the particular circumstances and often to a much higher standard. We will respect the Pupil’s human rights and freedoms, balanced with the lawful needs and rules of the College’s community and the rights and freedoms of others. Master’s Authority: The Parents authorise the Master to take and/or authorise in good faith all decisions which the Master considers (on proper grounds) will safeguard and promote the Pupil’s welfare.
3. Admission and Entry to the College
3.1
Registration and Admission: Applicants will be considered as candidates for admission and entry to the College when the registration form has been completed and returned to the College and the non-returnable registration fee paid. Admission will be subject to the availability of a place and the Pupil and the Parents satisfying the admission requirements at the time. Offer of a Place and Acceptance Deposit: An acceptance deposit of such amount as may from time to time be determined by the College will be payable when the Parents accept the offer of a place. (The acceptance deposit payable for a boarding place is a larger sum than the acceptance deposit for a day place.) The acceptance deposit is not refundable if the Pupil does not take up their place at the College (see paragraphs 9.2 and 9.3 below), unless stated otherwise in these terms and conditions. Otherwise, the acceptance deposit will be repaid by means of a credit (without interest) to the final payment of Fees or other sums due to the College when the Pupil leaves the College. Until credited, the acceptance deposit will form part of the general funds of the College. Direct debit mandate: Except where none of the Parents lives in the United Kingdom or has an account with a bank or building society with offices in the United Kingdom: (i) the Pupil may not join the College until the Parents have returned to the College a duly completed direct debit mandate; and (ii) the Parents will sign and return a direct debit mandate promptly on the College’s request. Boarding Pupils – First Term’s fees payable on acceptance: In the case of a boarding place, the Parents shall pay a full term’s boarding and tuition fees (in addition to the acceptance deposit) when they accept the offer of a place. The boarding and tuition fees paid in advance will be credited on the invoice for the first term’s fees. Day Pupils with Parents overseas - First Term’s fees payable on acceptance: If the Parents are outside the United Kingdom when they sign the acceptance form or provide an address or addresses outside the United Kingdom on their acceptance form, the Parents shall pay a full term’s tuition fees (in addition to the acceptance deposit) when they accept the offer of a place. The tuition fees paid in advance will be credited on the invoice for the first term’s fees. Immigration: (i) In order to comply with the College’s responsibilities as a Home Office licensed sponsor, the Parents consent to the College notifying and/or supplying information relating to the Parents’ and/or the Pupil’s right to enter, reside and/or study in the United Kingdom to the United Kingdom Visas and Immigration unit of the Home Office (regardless of whether or not the College sponsors the Pupil).
