Private school refund

[Eirikur]

Good question, but I pay for insurance I'm hoping that will cover a refund.

I haven't got one, but from what I remember these insurances are to pay the fees in case you're not able to pay for them any more due to illness or unemployment

As I corrected a audit partner 30 years ago so we could head to the pub, look at the date on the transaction, they had £30m in cash on the day in question.

£ 30 mln 24 hour loan at the end of the year....

As I pay £120 per school day per child was wondering if anybody on here has ever tried to get a refund from private schools and were you successful?

There's more chance of Donald Trump becoming president of the US, Boris becoming Prime Minister and the world collapsing due a pandemic.

In other words, I seriously doubt you'll get a refund but you never know.

I checked their balance sheet and they have 30 million in cash

I suspect the school is now heading rapidly towards bankruptcy and you will be at the bottom of the list of unsecured creditors.

Do you pay per day? i.e are you invoiced by the school 20x£120x number of children every month?

I pay the school fees on a term by term basis with the payments being split throughout but the contractual terms are for a term with 1 term notice period...

getting a pro rata refund might be tricky.

No I pay per term, I just divided the annual school fees + mandatory meal costs by the number of actual school days per year
