Cheques should be made payable to:
"Frewen College" and crossed "A/c payee"
Regrettably, due to changes in the Consumer Credit Act we are no longer able to offer monthly payment by standing order, other than by way of separate termly agreements. In view of the administration costs involved such arrangements will incur an annual administration charge of £30.
Insurances:
Free insurance cover is provided for school trips but parents should seek details from the Business Manager's Office. The College can accept no responsibility for incorrect assumptions about the cover provided.
No insurance cover is provided automatically by the school against loss of pupils' personal effects. Parents are strongly advised to take out such insurance- the school has an optional policy which parents may choose to take. Details of this insurance can be downloaded below:
