Annual Development Levy:
An annual development levy of R8,975 per student is charged in term one. This levy is utilised for facilities, capital expansion and campus enhancement and is not included in the tuition fees reflected above.
Please Note:
- Kingsmead College fees are due and payable on the first day of each term.
- On application, with suitable motivation, the payment of fees monthly will be considered with amandatory debit order. Interest will be charged on outstanding amounts.
- Late payments/accounts in default will attract interest at prime plus 2% per annum.
- The College reserves the right to refuse re-admission of any student, to the following academic year, if fees due to the College are outstanding in respect of the year just completed. Such failure to settle school fees accounts comprises a material breach of the Parent Contract and may lead to invocation of clause 9.4.2 thereof, giving twenty days’ notice to pay outstanding fees, failing which, the College may cancel the Parent Contract.
- A full term's notice must be given, in writing, to the Head of the School, prior to a student being withdrawn from the College. Withdrawal without a term’s notice will result in a term’s fees being charged in lieu of notice, in terms of clause 9.2 of the Parent Contract.

The tabulated fees set out above do not include fees payable to the Independent Examinations Board (IEB) for entry to National Senior Certificate examinations. You will be notified of the relevant fees once they are communicated to the College by the IEB. The costs as communicated will be debited to your school fees account. These IEB fees may be paid in instalments on arrangement with the Accounts Department.

Sundry charges in respect of, but not limited to, aftercare, tours, workshops, outings, and courses are payable on presentation of statement. Parents/Guardians will be notified of these costs in advance.

Please contact the Music Department for the applicable costs and details. One month’s notice must be given, in writing, to the Deputy Head: Beyond the Classroom, in the case of withdrawal from music tuition. Stationery and textbook costs are not included in the tuition fees. Where the College does purchase these resources on behalf of students, the relevant costs will be charged to the school fees account.

The personal possessions of the students attending the College are not covered in respect of any risks by the College's insurance. Parents/Guardians should make their own arrangements for covering the possessions of their daughters. Despite vigilant and strict precautions, losses do occur from time to time. Parents/Guardians are urged to discourage their daughters from bringing expensive and unnecessary items to the College.
