At RICHMOND PARK SCHOOL we work with a single quota system in order to facilitate, in all senses, the payment and collection procedures between the school and the parents. This fee includes academic fees, insurance, meals (except Breakfast Club), swimming lessons in the Curriculum, materials and books within the British curriculum (exceptionally, parents may be asked to purchase materials for a specific project). The fees do not include: school transport, uniforms, books and materials for the Spanish curriculum, clubs, extra-curricular activities and trips. In the case of not requiring any services included in the single quota, the full amount must still be paid.
The school charges this single fee in 10 installments from September to June (inclusive) payable at the beginning of each month.
The school will only accept payments by direct debit under SEPA regulations or bank transfer, always in accordance with current legislation. Parents must agree to accept the school's payment policy at the time of enrolment.
Uniforms
Uniforms
— E-Uniforms
Richmond Park School has signed an agreement with E-Uniforms Schools’ Uniform Division to design and and produce our school uniform for the next 5 years. As you may already be aware, E-Uniforms is a family-run business which has been producing high quality children’s clothing for many years.
The Senior Management Team has spent considerable time, not only determining an attractive design but also one which reflects the importance we assign to our uniform. One of our key beliefs is that our pupils will be learning for the future and learning from the past. Our uniform, too, has elements of both the traditional and the contemporary and will act as a constant symbol.
The combination of colours is unusual, helping promote the specific identity of our school. We want pupils, parents and staff to have a deep sense of pride in belonging to Richmond Park School. Our uniform, worn correctly and elegantly, will help us considerably to achieve our aim.
Finally, we have tried to make the purchase as straightforward as possible. You will be able to buy the items online via the E-Uniforms platform and either receive them at home or at the school.
This section will be updated with any developments regarding the uniform.
Notes
We inform you that these sketches may differ slightly in colour and design of the final uniforms.
Swimming pool costumes
Swimming uniforms are bought in the school.
Shoes
'School Shoes’ recommended by Richmond Park School
IMPORTANT NOTE: ‘Brown shoes’ must be worn with the Richmond Park School uniform and ‘White Trainers’ with the Physical Education uniform only on P.E. days.
