Withdrawal
Felixstowe International College relies solely on tuition income to meet annual operating expenses. Therefore, it is necessary that the financial obligations for enrolment be for the entire school term. Once a family accepts a place for their child, they are initiating their commitment to begin or continue tuition payments for the entire school term, even if the student is voluntarily withdrawn or expelled from school.
1. Withdrawal by parent: Parents must give a full term’s notice of their intention to withdraw their child. A term’s fees in lieu of notice will be payable where insufficient statutory notice is given, in writing, to the Principal.
2. Withdrawal by Principal: The Principal may require the removal of a pupil at any time if the student’s removal has been determined to be in the interest of other pupils or of the College. In these circumstances, there will be no refund of fees for the current term and a full term’s fees will be payable in lieu of statutory notice.
3. Withdrawal due to illness: If a student withdraws due to serious illness or due to a family emergency a full term’s fees will be payable.
If you cancel your course before arrival for any other reason, no refund will be given. If you cancel your course after arrival, leave the school early, or miss any lessons, no refund will be given.
Insurance
All students who register to attend Felixstowe International College must have full insurance for: medical expenses (medical emergencies, repatriation costs, emergency dental treatment, etc.), personal accident and injury, cancellation of courses, missed flights, personal liability, legal expenses, and personal belongings and documents. Students must bring a copy of all insurance documents.

In case of a medical emergency, the College will act in “loco parentis” for students under the age of 18.
Damage or Loss
The College is not liable for the loss, damage, or theft of any personal effects, including money not in the care of the College Office. We advise parents to arrange full insurance for health, travel, and possessions. We also advise that students do NOT bring any valuable items unless they are insured.
Permission
The signed Registration Form gives permission for the student to participate in all supervised activities inside and outside the College premises. With the Principal’s permission, students may go out unsupervised in a group of at least three students. Only students over 13 will be allowed to go out in groups, unsupervised. Students under 13 will be accompanied at all times.
