Payment options for 2021-22 school fees
Bank transfer or cheque (termly)
Fees must be paid on or before the first day of term by bank transfer to:
HSBC Bank plc
Account No 31534076
Sort Code 40-07-13
Please quote the pupil’s full name for identification purposes.
Pay by cheque made out to Herne Hill School.
Direct Debit (termly)
Parents can pay the termly fees as invoiced by the School by direct debit on the first day of term. The amount and the date of debit will be confirmed beforehand. Once established, the Direct Debit Mandate can be kept open in subsequent years for the duration of the child’s time at Herne Hill School, thereby avoiding paperwork. This is a hassle-free method of always paying on time, at the last possible date, without incurring any fees.
Parents wishing to pay using this option should complete the appropriate Direct Debit Mandate (one for each pupil where appropriate) and the enclosed form “Application to Pay School Fees by Termly Direct Debit” no later than 20 August 2021.
Direct Debit (montly)
In line with regulations by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the School is not able to accept monthly direct debit payments directly from parents.
Bank transfer or cheque (Annual – Pre-Prep only)
The entire year’s fees can be paid in advance by multiplying the termly fees of £5,415 by three and deducting a discount of £250 (i.e., £15,995).
Fees must be paid by Monday 6 September by bank transfer to
HSBC Bank plc
Account No 31534076
Sort Code 40-07-13
Please quote the pupil’s full name and account number for identification purposes.

Fees for terms not attended are fully refundable as long as the appropriate notice of withdrawal is given (but the early payment discount of £250 becomes due if the pupil does not attend the full year).
Childcare vouchers and Tax-Free Childcare
We accept childcare vouchers from most providers (Edenred, care-4, Computershare, Fideliti, Kiddivouchers, Sodexo, etc.) and are registered to accept payment from the Tax-Free Childcare accounts parents may have set up.
Payments from either option can be used for tuition fees in Kindergarten, Pre-Reception and Reception. They can also be used for wrap-around care across all year groups including Years 1 and 2. For more information about these options, please visit https://childcare-support.tax.service.gov.uk.
