Fees
General Information
The following rates apply from January 1st 2010. Subsequently, charges will
be reviewed on January 1st of each year. Advice on credit
facilities, whereby fees may be paid in monthly instalments, can be
obtained on request or by visiting www.htcschoolfees.co.uk.
In calculating the overall cost of a course, it should be borne in mind
that GCSEs at Bartholomews are often completed in just three terms, and A
levels in three or four terms, instead of the normal six terms at most
schools. Furthermore any individual tuition missed through illness or other
unavoidable absence may sometimes be made good without additional cost. It
should be noted, however, that hours of tuition may never be transferred
from one term or from one student to another. In addition it should be
assumed that refunds are not made under any circumstances, including in the
event of reading weeks, suspension or expulsion.
Invoices are submitted termly in advance in respect of tuition,
examinations and accommodation and are due at least fourteen days before the
first day of tuition in each term, or by return of post, whichever is the
later. The one exception to this is that, if parents prefer, fees for any
student in their very first term may be settled in two equal instalments,
the first as stated above and the second by the mid-way point of that term.
Please note that those taking advantage of credit facilities, or settling
accounts by any method other than at least full-termly in advance, may need
to provide details for credit reference purposes.
For all students the initial registration fee is £47. Parents may choose to
receive accounts either based on standard full-time rates or according to
the actual number of hours anticipated to be required in any given term. In
general, the former method is the more economical for those on full-time
courses. Students registering on a part-time basis must enrol for a minimum
of one hour per week of individual tuition and for at least ten weeks.
Standard Termly Tuition Charges
The rates given below cover all group and individual tuition, except for science
practicals, considered reasonably necessary under normal circumstances, for
the equivalent of up to four A levels or eight GCSEs, in terms each of ten
weeks' duration.

Annually in advance
|
£15,700

For terms of between five and
ten weeks in duration, costs may be calculated on a pro-rata basis. For
terms of greater than ten weeks, and for years greater than 30 weeks, a
charge of £350 per additional week should be added. When the amount of
tuition required is greater than normal, it may be necessary to calculate
costs on an individual basis.
Hourly Tuition Charges
Those attending on a short-term or part-time basis may find it more
economical to receive accounts according to the exact number of hours of tuition
required in each term. On this basis the hourly rate for individual tuition
is £54 for terms comprising fifty hours or more, or £58 for terms
comprising less than fifty hours, but, as for those electing for standard
termly charges, it should be borne in mind that this also covers the cost
of personal supervision, help with university applications and other
facilities available to students at the College. Each hour of individual
tuition may be converted into two hours of group tuition without extra cost
being incurred, but supplementary accounts may be issued in arrears, should
the overall amount of tuition exceed that originally anticipated.
Science Practicals
Science practicals towards AS and A2 coursework or examination units are
charged at £350 per unit involved. Those for GCSEs are charged at £200 per
single subject entry.

single unit fee. For other examinations, costs are quoted separately on
request.
For entries made at another centre and then transferred to Bartholomews,
charges are made at half the rates given above, plus any additional fees
payable to the examining boards.
Charges for external candidates, when accepted, and in other unusual
circumstances, such as when students request their own private examination
room and invigilator, are costed on an individual basis.
Late Entries, Re-marks and Script Return
Additional costs for examinations may be incurred for late entries and
re-marks. Application for the return of examination scripts can only be
processed on receipt of written request and payment in advance, being £20
per original script and £30 for a quick-response photocopy.
Accommodation
For those requiring accommodation to be arranged for them by the College, a
deposit of £200 is required at the time of registration. This is refundable
at the end of the course, providing that all other costs have been cleared.
Payment may then be made either through Bartholomews or directly to
landlords. An administration fee of £100 is charged for any term in which
new accommodation is arranged, but subsequently only for terms in which
payment is made through the College.
