Parents’ consent to such physical contact with a student as may be lawful, appropriate and proper for teaching and to provide comfort to a student in distress or to maintain safety and good order.

  3. Fee levels are reviewed annually, and may be increased upon review. Parents will be given one term's advance notice in writing of any increase in fees.
  4. Fees cannot be refunded or waived for absence through sickness, or if a term is shortened or a vacation extended, or if a student is released home before the normal end of term, or (subject to the terms of clause 5) if a student drops a subject. Parents are advised to consider taking out insurance against loss of fees through accident or illness.

  6. Students, and those responsible for paying their fees, are liable for any damage they cause to the premises or property of RLC, or of any organisation providing a service arranged by RLC.


4. Events requiring written notice

  2. A term's fees in lieu of notice (less any deposit held) will be payable by Parents if, for any reason, they cancel their acceptance of a place, or a student does not join RLC. Cases of serious illness or genuine hardship may receive special consideration on written request.

If a student withdraws from RLC without notice as described in clause 4a one term's fees in lieu of notice will be due and payable as a debt at the rate applicable on the date of invoice whether or not the place can be filled. A student's decision to withdraw him/herself from RLC shall, for these purposes, be treated as a withdrawal by the Parents.


5. Removal or/and expulsion of a student
  1. Parents may be required, during or at the end of a term, to remove a student, without refund of fees, temporarily or permanently from RLC if the student's fees are outstanding beyond what the Principal considers to be a reasonable period or, after consultation with a Parent, the Principal is of the opinion that the conduct of a student has been unsatisfactory or a Parent has treated RLC or members of its staff unreasonably, and such removal is warranted in all the circumstances On removal fees in lieu of notice will not be charged, but all fees then outstanding will be immediately payable in full.
  2. A student may be expelled at any time if the Principal is reasonably satisfied that the student's conduct (whether on or off RLC premises or in or out of term-time) has been prejudicial to good order or RLC discipline or to the reputation of RLC, and that the continued presence of a student is incompatible with the interests of RLC. The Principal will act fairly and would not expel a student other than in grave circumstances. A review procedure is also available. On expulsion fees in lieu of notice will not be charged. All fees then outstanding will be immediately payable in full.
  3. The decision to suspend, require removal or expel a student and the manner and form of any announcement shall be in the sole discretion of the Principal. Under no circumstances shall RLC or its staff be required to divulge to Parents any confidential information or the identities of students or others who have given information that has led to the expulsion or the requirement to remove or suspend which the Principal has acquired during an investigation.
  4. In the event of a Student's removal being required or a student being expelled, the Principal will advise parents of the procedure (of which copies are available on request) under which a written application for a review of the decision may be made.
  5. A student who has been withdrawn, excluded, suspended or expelled from RLC has no right to enter any RLC premises without the previous written permission of the Principal.

6. General conditions

  1. The Principal must be notified in writing immediately of any court orders or situations of risk in relation to a student for whom any special safety precautions may be needed. A Parent may be excluded from RLC premises if the Principal, acting properly, considers such exclusion to be in the best interests of a student or of RLC.
  2. The prospectus describes the broad principles on which RLC is presently run and gives an indication of our history and ethos. Although believed correct at the time of printing, the prospectus is not part of any agreement between the parents and RLC.
  3. RLC reserves the right to make reasonable changes from time to time to these standard terms and conditions, to the size and location of RLC, to its premises and facilities, to the academic and extra curriculum, and the structure and composition of classes and the way RLC is run, to the length of RLC’s terms and to any other aspect of RLC.
