Unicorn is a non-profit-making company. Fees are invoiced by email and fall due on the first day of each term. In the case of withdrawal of a child, one full term‘s notice in writing must be given, by the last day of the previous term, or one term‘s fees paid in lieu of notice.

We offer an optional fees refund scheme, in case a pupil is unable to attend due to illness or accident, and all pupils are covered by a personal accident insurance scheme. Please ask the School Bursar for details.
