School lunches are not included in the school fees and are invoiced separately on a non‑refundable basis.

- Uniform: Branded uniform items are available for purchase from the school's online uniform shop; non‑branded items must be purchased separately. Branded and non‑branded uniform costs are additional to tuition fees.

Boarding

- The school does not provide boarding; pupils living alone in the Netherlands are not enrolled.

Invoicing, billing schedule and payment terms

- Fees are invoiced annually. Full fees are due for pupils starting at any time from the first day of a term up to the half‑term date; pupils who start after the half‑term break pay half fees for the first half term they attend. Term dates and the full/half term periods are used to determine fee liability. Split payment arrangements are available for parents paying personally: fees may be paid in three equal instalments due on the dates shown in the invoicing schedule (example instalment due dates given for the invoicing year are published with the invoices).

- Bank payment details provided for fee payments:
- Account name: The British School of Amsterdam
- Account number: 302017178
- Bank name: Rabobank
- IBAN: NL13 RABO 0302 0171 78
- BIC (SWIFT): RABONL2U.
- Payments are made to the school's bank account (SEPA/IBAN transfer) using the invoice reference so the payment is correctly allocated. Refunds are made to the same bank account from which the original payment was received.

Late payment and debt collection

- If fees or other charges fall into arrears, the school may refer the debt to a collections agency and may refuse admittance until the debt is cleared; all collection costs will be charged to the parent. No school records or reports will be released while fees or charges remain outstanding. Payments received are allocated to the oldest outstanding amounts first.

Leaving the school and refunds

- A full term's written notice is required when a pupil is withdrawn. If notice is received late the school may charge fees for the following term. The enrolment fee is non‑refundable. The deposit (if paid) and any school fee for subsequent terms will only be refunded if the required online notification of leaving has been submitted on time, all fees and extra costs have been paid, and all invoiced sibling amounts are settled. Refunds are normally paid to the original payee bank account and the school aims to process refunds within 30 days of the end of the term in which the child leaves. Specific notification deadlines for leaving are published for each academic year and operate on fixed dates.

Other payment notes

- Compulsory curriculum trips are included in tuition; optional trips, school lunches, certain examination retakes, and some extra‑curricular charges are invoiced separately and are non‑refundable where stated. Any company or employer invoicing arrangements do not remove parental responsibility for payment; the signatories on the acceptance letter remain responsible for timely payment.
