There are occasions when children will join part way through the year and we welcome those children and do our very best to make sure they integrate into the class quickly and happily.

We encourage all prospective parents to visit the school before registering. Taster days are also an important part of our admissions process and we happily welcome new children to spend a day with us so they can get a good feel for what The New School is all about.

If you would like to enquire about registering your child, please call the Admissions and Marketing Office at Exeter School on 01392 273679 or email admissions@exeterschool.org.uk.

Notice

As set out in the school's terms and conditions, one full term's notice in writing is required before the withdrawal of a pupil from the school, otherwise a full term's fees in lieu of notice will be due.

Payment

Fees may be paid by direct transfer into the school's Lloyds bank account. The account number is 72090968 and the sort code 30-80-37. The parent code, shown on the bill as a number, or your child's name must be quoted as the reference for this payment.

We do not have the facility to accept card payments.

Personal accident and dental insurance

This covers serious injury of a lasting nature occurring during term time or holidays as well as dental treatment arising as a result of a dental accident or emergency. This is included in the termly fees.

Personal effects

The school stresses the need to ensure that the pupil's personal clothing and property (which should also be clearly marked with the pupil's name) are covered by family insurance. The school's own policy protects parents only where negligence can be claimed (e.g. watch lost having been handed to a member of staff for safe custody). It is particularly important to cover for lost/stolen bicycles, musical instruments, mobile phones and the like.
