Dulwich College - Standard Terms & Conditions
place on condition that the Parents remain responsible for paying (and continue to pay) the boarding fees (as opposed to just the tuition fees) in full (as a debt) at the rate applicable to the term(s) in question until the end of the academic year in which the change takes effect or (if earlier) until the College fills the boarding vacancy created by the Pupil’s change from a boarding to a day place, at which point the Parents shall only then be liable to pay the tuition fees going forward. This condition is necessary because boarding provision is planned on an annual basis, and it may take some time to fill a vacancy created by a pupil changing from boarding to day. (ii) The Parents may not change the Pupil’s place from a boarding place to a day place for the Summer Term of Year 11 or Year 13 only. (For the avoidance of doubt, boarding fees would continue to be payable in respect of the relevant Summer Term even if the Parents sought to make such a change.) Information on Parents’ identity and source of funds: From time to time the College may ask the Parents to provide the College with information so that the College can properly and accurately verify to its satisfaction: (i) the Parents’ identity; (ii) the Pupil’s identity; (iii) that the Parents are not subject to, or within the purview of, any national or international financial, economic, trade, travel or other similar sanctions imposed by any competent authority; (iv) the Pupil’s right to enter, live and study in the United Kingdom; and (v) the source of the funds the Parents are using to pay the Fees. The Parents must provide the College with any such information and documentation that the College reasonably asks for.
and 9.4 above is necessary to promote stability, to enable the College to plan its staffing and other requirements and to enable the College to maintain its academic and co-curricular standards. Cases involving serious hardship will receive special consideration on written request and provided the Parents provide full disclosure of their financial circumstances. Where reasonably practicable, the Parents will consult with the Pupil’s Head of School before giving notice to withdraw the Pupil from the College. If the Pupil is aged 16 or more, the Pupil’s decision to withdraw from the College shall, for the purposes of the Parent Contract, be treated as a withdrawal by the Parents.

10.2
The College may require the Parents (by giving the Parents not less than one month’s written notice) to withdraw the Pupil from the College at the end of a term if the Master is of the opinion that: (i) the conduct or progress of the Pupil has been unsatisfactory; or (ii) the Pupil is unwilling or unable to profit sufficiently from the educational opportunities offered by the College; or (iii) the College is unable to meet the Pupil’s needs (including cases where the College cannot reasonably accommodate adjustments or reasonably provide the nature or level of support required by the Pupil).

The Master shall act with procedural fairness in such cases and shall have regard to the interests of the Pupil, the College, its staff and other pupils (as appropriate). The College’s Policies (including its Behaviour Policies) set out non-exhaustive lists of examples of behaviour that the College regards as serious misconduct.
9. Termination by the Parents
9.1
A term’s notice must be given in writing if the Parents wish: (i) to cancel a place which they have accepted before Entry; (ii) to withdraw the Pupil from the College on or after Entry; or (iii) the Pupil to discontinue extra tuition that is being charged for by the College. Notice must be addressed to the Pupil’s Head of School or the Master. The Parents are reminded that a “term’s notice” means written notice given before the first day of a term and expiring at the end of that term. If the Parents cancel their acceptance of a place on more than a full term’s notice before Entry: (i) the Parents will not be required to pay Fees in lieu of notice; (ii) any fees in respect of the first term that were paid in advance pursuant to paragraph 3.4 or 3.5 will be refunded; and (iii) the acceptance deposit will be retained by the College. If the Parents cancel their acceptance of a place less than a term before Entry or the Pupil does not join the College after a place has been accepted but not cancelled, a term’s Fees will be payable in lieu of notice. In the case of a boarder, a term’s Fees includes both the tuition fees and the boarding fees. The acceptance deposit will be credited to the term’s Fees in lieu of notice which the Parents will owe the College. If the Pupil is withdrawn from the College on less than a term’s notice on or after Entry, Fees in lieu of notice will be immediately due and payable as a debt at the rate applicable to the term in question. In these circumstances, the acceptance deposit will be credited to the Parents’ account.
