Payment of Fees and Deposits
Parents using a UK Bank Account:
Our preferred means of payment is by cheque payable on a UK bank sent to the Procurator’s Office. Please do not send cheques to our bank. UK banks include those on the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.
If it is necessary to make a Bank Transfer, please ensure that your name, parent reference and the School number are clearly shown on the transfer.
By Credit Card. Please advise your card details to the Cashier, (Tel: 01439 766883). There is a surcharge for making payments by credit card.
Parents NOT using a UK Bank Account:
Our preferred means of payment is by sterling bank draft payable on a UK bank sent to the Procurator’s Office. A sterling bank draft should be obtainable from most overseas banks.
By International Telegraphic Transfer drawn in sterling with all bank charges including those of the receiving bank borne by the sender credited to the Leeds branch of Allied Irish Bank plc SORT CODE 23-84-02, St Laurence Education Trust No 00412189. It is essential to ensure that your name, parent reference and the school number are clearly shown on the transfer document. US banks in particular are very bad at this.
A few overseas banks may request a Swiftcode Number or ABA or Routing Number. For any of these quote AIBK GB2L. Some European banks may also request an International Bank Account Number (IBAN). Please quote: IBAN GB27 AIBK 2384 0200 4121 89
By Credit Card. Please advise your credit card details to the Cashier, (Tel: +44 1439 766 883). There is a surcharge - currently 1.25%.
If possible, you should not pay by means of a personal cheque drawn on a non-UK bank. This will cause delay and will reduce the amount of your payment because of the high bank charges that will be incurred. Some parents, in parts of the world where the mail may be delayed or is not secure, make use of courier services such as DHL, TNT or UPS.
