Before You Leave

Three Months Notice
Three months notice must be given on withdrawal, not including the month in which withdrawal is given or July (a non-payment) (so if you are leaving during the summer holiday you have to give the school notice by March 31st the latest).

School fees will be charged to the end of this three-month period.

There is a form to fill out and submit to admin@rygaards.com that is available here: https://www.rygaards.com/sites/rygaards.com/files/media/documents/UK%20Documents/admissions/notice_of_withdrawal.pdf

SFO has one month’s notice.

The End-of-Year Leavers Party
