Terms and Conditions
This agreement sets out the terms and conditions upon which a place is being offered to your child. By accepting a place for your child as a pupil, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions. We have endeavoured to draft this document in the clearest language possible, avoiding legal jargon when possible. It is, however, legally binding on both The British Online School and you. In this document, the term ‘parents’ is frequently used. Guardians are included within the meaning of that word.
1. The Agreement and Definitions
1.1 We agree to sell, and you agree to buy the Course(s) on the terms and conditions set out below.
1.2 “Course” means the course for which your child is enrolled including all related learning materials, support and tuition.
1.3 The “Period” of the Course is the time over which the course is provided. The period of our EYFS, KS1, KS2, KS3 and KS4 courses is one academic year. The period of our tuition and language courses is 4 weeks automatically renewable. A 5-day notice must be made by email to registration@boshomeschooling.com if you do not want to renew.
2. Fees and Payments (EYFS, KS1, KS2 and KS3)
2.1 Registration Fees
Registration and onboarding fees are strictly non-refundable under all circumstances.
2.2 Cancellation Window
Tuition fees are refundable only if written notice of cancellation is sent by email within five (5) calendar days of the enrolment date and no classes have been attended.
If enrolment takes place after the official start of the Academic Year and at least one class has been attended, the cancellation window no longer applies and no refund will be issued.
Payment gateway transaction fees are non-refundable and are not the responsibility of the School.
2.3 Academic Year Enrolment & Minimum Commitment
All enrolments are for a full Academic Year programme.
By enrolling, Parents/Guardians agree to a binding academic and financial commitment for the Academic Year.
For the avoidance of doubt, enrolment includes a minimum non-refundable academic commitment, which corresponds to the first academic term or six (6) consecutive months of the programme, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the School.
Fees relating to the minimum academic commitment are earned upon enrolment and are non-refundable, irrespective of attendance, participation, access to learning materials, suspension, or subsequent withdrawal.
Withdrawal from the School, or enrolment in another institution, does not cancel, reduce, or waive the financial obligation for the minimum academic commitment or any fees contractually due thereafter.
2.4 Payment Authorisation & Automatic Debits
By registering and providing payment details, Parents/Guardians authorise the School to automatically debit the designated account for all applicable tuition fees in accordance with the selected payment plan.
Termly payments are debited prior to the start of each term unless paid manually in advance.
Monthly payments are available only upon request, subject to prior approval, and debited on the 1st day of each month according to the agreed instalment schedule.
If payment is not made manually by the due date and payment details are saved on file, the School reserves the right to process payment automatically. Parents/Guardians are responsible for notifying the School in advance of any anticipated delay.
2.5 Payment Methods
Accepted payment methods include valid credit or debit cards.
If payment details are incomplete, inaccurate, expired, or not promptly updated, a £25 administration charge will apply. The School reserves the right to suspend access without notice until payment is completed.
Failure to update payment details does not release the Parent/Guardian from any financial obligation.
2.6 Payment Plans
Available payment structures include:
Full Payment – payable shortly after registration
Termly Payments – payable before the start of each term
Monthly Payments – available only upon request for families facing financial constraints and subject to formal approval
Monthly payment plans are provided as a facility for payment only and do not alter the total fees owed for the Academic Year or the minimum academic commitment.
Parents approved for monthly payments must complete and sign the BOS Monthly Payment Acknowledgement & Academic Commitment Form. Failure to provide this documentation constitutes a breach of these Terms.
2.7 Late Payments & Suspension
Late payments incur a £25 administration charge per reminder issued.
If payment remains outstanding and no written response is received within 24 hours of notice, the School reserves the right to immediately suspend access to classes, platforms, assessments, recordings, and teacher feedback.
Suspension of services does not cancel or reduce any outstanding fees.
2.8 Recovery of Unpaid Fees
Outstanding fees constitute a contractual debt owed to the School.
Parents/Guardians remain liable for all reasonable costs incurred in the recovery of unpaid balances, including administrative, legal, or debt recovery fees, where legally permitted. This may include recovery action in the Parent/Guardian’s country of residence.
2.9 Currency & Invoicing
The School reserves the right to issue invoices in different currencies where necessary. All fees are calculated according to the School’s fixed exchange rate at the time of invoicing.
2.10 Automatic Renewal
Student enrolment will automatically renew for the following Academic Year unless written notice of withdrawal is sent to registration@boshomeschooling.com before the end of the current Academic Year. A renewal reminder will be issued in advance.
2.11 Academic Records & Financial Clearance
An Attendance Certificate may be issued upon request following withdrawal.
All other academic documentation – including but not limited to reports, transcripts, predicted grades, references, transfer letters, exam registrations, certificates, or confirmations of enrolment or academic progress – is issued only once all outstanding fees have been fully settled.
This policy applies during enrolment and after withdrawal, without limitation.
2.12 Chargebacks, Disputes & Billing Concerns
Parents/Guardians agree to contact the School directly and in good faith to resolve any billing concern or query before initiating a chargeback, payment dispute, or reversal with a bank, card issuer, or payment provider.
Chargebacks or disputes raised without prior communication, or in circumstances where fees are contractually due under these Terms, may be considered unjustified.
In the event of a chargeback or dispute, the School reserves the right to:
Suspend access to all services
Withhold academic records and documentation
Recover reasonable administrative and processing costs incurred, including a £100 dispute administration fee
Student access will remain suspended until the dispute is resolved and the account is brought into good standing.
2.13 No Refund for Accessed Services
Once login credentials have been issued or access to classes or learning materials has been granted, no refunds will be issued, regardless of whether the services were utilised.
2.14 Financial Clearance
Access to academic records, reports, references, certificates, examination support, transfer letters, or confirmations of enrolment is strictly conditional upon full financial clearance.
No documentation or academic confirmation shall be issued while any fees remain outstanding.
2.15 Outstanding Financial Obligations
Withdrawal, suspension, termination of enrolment, or cessation of attendance does not extinguish or invalidate any outstanding financial obligation.
All fees due under this Agreement remain due and payable in full, regardless of whether the student continues to attend lessons or access services.
Payment plans are facilities for payment only and do not alter the governing law or jurisdiction applicable to this Agreement.
3. Fees and Payments (Tuitions and language courses)
3.1 Registration Fees
Registration and enrolment fees are strictly non-refundable under all circumstances.
3.2 Monthly Commitment
Tuition classes and language courses operate on a monthly commitment basis.
By registering, Parents/Guardians agree to a binding financial commitment for each full billing month in which the student is enrolled.
Fees for each billing month are earned at the start of that month and are non-refundable, regardless of attendance, participation, access to lessons, or subsequent withdrawal during that month.
3.3 Payment Due Dates
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, full payment for the billing month (or the first instalment, where applicable) must be made on or before the registration date or monthly renewal date in order to secure the student’s place.
3.4 Late or Missed Payments
In the event of late or missed payments, the student’s account may be temporarily disabled or suspended until payment is received in full.
Suspension of access does not cancel or reduce any fees due for the current billing month.
3.5 Cancellation & Non-Renewal
A minimum notice period of five (5) calendar days is required for cancellation or non-renewal of tuition lessons or language courses.
If written notice is not received by email at registration@boshomeschooling.com at least five (5) days prior to the next billing date, the student will be automatically re-enrolled, and the next month’s fees will become due.
3.6 Minimum Class Size (Group Courses)
A minimum of four (4) students is required for group language classes to run.
If enrolment falls below this minimum, the School reserves the right to make alternative arrangements, which may include reduced hours, class merging, timetable adjustments, or teacher reassignment.
3.7 Recovery of Unpaid Fees
Parents/Guardians are liable for all reasonable costs incurred by the School in the recovery of unpaid fees, including administrative, legal, and recovery charges, regardless of the value of the claim.
Where refunds are applicable, payment gateway or transaction fees are non-refundable and remain the responsibility of the Parent/Guardian.
3.8 Currency & Invoicing
The School reserves the right to amend the currency of any invoice where necessary. The payable amount shall be calculated according to the School’s fixed rate in the selected currency.
3.9 Automatic Monthly Renewal
This Agreement will automatically renew for a further one (1) month unless written notice of withdrawal is sent to registration@boshomeschooling.com at least five (5) calendar days prior to the renewal date.
3.10 Attendance, Absences & Missed Lessons
Tuition lessons are scheduled in advance and reserved exclusively for the student.
If a student does not attend a scheduled lesson without prior notice of absence, the lesson is forfeited, non-refundable, and no replacement lesson will be provided.
Absences due to illness, personal reasons, technical issues, or failure to join on time do not entitle the student to a catch-up lesson or refund.
If a lesson is cancelled due to teacher unavailability or a matter attributable to the School, the lesson will be rescheduled, credited, or replaced, as appropriate.
The School is not responsible for lessons missed due to late arrival, early departure, or failure to join the lesson at the scheduled time.
4. Parents’ Agreement
As BOS Homeschooling operates within a home-education model, parental involvement is essential to the success, wellbeing, and progress of each student.
By enrolling a child with BOS Homeschooling, Parents/Guardians agree to the following responsibilities and conditions.
4.1 Parental Involvement & Educational Support
Parents/Guardians commit to actively supporting their child’s education by:
Engaging with their child’s progress: dedicating regular time to discuss learning, understanding, emotional wellbeing, and overall engagement. The level of involvement will naturally vary according to the child’s age, needs, and academic level.
Communicating with teachers appropriately: contacting teachers through approved channels when clarification or support is required, rather than attempting to reteach, override, or contradict teaching methods used during lessons.
Following up on missed lessons: ensuring that the child watches recorded lessons in full and completes any associated tasks when absent. Parents acknowledge that all BOS lessons are recorded and that missed live attendance does not exempt students from learning responsibilities.
4.2 Technical Readiness & Learning Environment
Parents/Guardians are fully responsible for ensuring that their child can access lessons effectively by:
Providing adequate equipment, including a fully functional device (laptop, tablet, or desktop), camera, microphone, and headphones prior to the start of the course.
Ensuring stable internet access: a strong and reliable internet connection is essential. BOS Homeschooling is not responsible for missed lessons, learning disruption, or loss of progress caused by poor connectivity.
Resolving technical issues promptly: audio issues, camera malfunctions, device problems, or login difficulties are the responsibility of the Parent/Guardian and are not the teacher’s responsibility to troubleshoot during lessons.
4.3 Classroom Boundaries & Respect for Teachers
To protect the learning environment and teacher authority, Parents/Guardians agree to the following:
No parental intervention during live lessons. This includes (but is not limited to):
Giving answers or prompting the child
Completing tasks on the child’s behalf
Working through lesson material in advance
Socialising with other parents via chat
Commenting on, comparing, or questioning teachers during lessons
Feeding children during lessons where this disrupts learning
Parents acknowledge that such behaviour disrupts learning and undermines teacher authority and will not be tolerated.
Any concerns regarding teaching, methodology, or classroom management must be raised privately and respectfully through the appropriate school channels.
4.4 Student Conduct & Online Learning Expectations
Parents/Guardians are responsible for ensuring that students comply with BOS conduct expectations, including:
Attendance and punctuality: students must join lessons on time and remain present for the full duration of the session.
Appropriate behaviour: respectful conduct towards teachers and peers is expected at all times. Disruptive behaviour, inappropriate language, or repeated interruptions are not acceptable.
Participation requirements: students must comply with camera, microphone, and participation expectations as communicated by the teacher.
Appropriate dress: students must be dressed suitably for an educational environment during live lessons.
Academic integrity: all work must be completed honestly and independently. Excessive parental involvement, cheating, or plagiarism may result in academic or disciplinary action.
The School reserves the right to issue warnings, temporarily remove a student from a lesson, or suspend access where conduct repeatedly disrupts learning or breaches these expectations.
4.5 Health, Wellbeing & Extracurricular Balance
As part of BOS Homeschooling’s commitment to holistic development, Parents/Guardians agree to:
Support their child’s physical, emotional, and social wellbeing alongside academic learning.
Enrol the child in at least one physical extracurricular activity, such as sport, swimming, martial arts, or outdoor group activities, to promote physical health, social interaction, and balance within a home-education lifestyle.
4.6 Financial Responsibility & Communication
Parents/Guardians agree to:
Meet all financial obligations in full and on time, in accordance with BOS payment terms and applicable commitments.
Raise any billing questions or concerns directly with the School in a timely and respectful manner, prior to initiating any bank or card dispute.
Acknowledge that unjustified payment disputes may result in service suspension, withholding of records, and administrative charges, as outlined in the Terms and Conditions.
5. Change of Course, Late Admission & Timetable Adjustments
5.1 Change of Course or Programme
Once a student is enrolled, changes of course, programme, or subject are not permitted, except at the sole discretion of BOS Homeschooling and subject to availability.
Any approved change may require administrative review and may result in timetable adjustments, teacher changes, or additional fees where applicable.
5.2 Late Admission During the Academic Year
For students admitted after the official start of the Academic Year:
Fees will be calculated on a monthly basis or termly basis where admission takes place at the beginning of a term.
Late admission does not entitle the student to retrospective access, refunds, or compensation for lessons or content delivered prior to enrolment.
Parents acknowledge that students joining mid-year may need time to adapt to existing curricula, teaching pace, and assessment schedules.
5.3 Delayed Course Start (Tuition Only)
For tuition programmes only, a course start date may be delayed for up to seven (7) calendar days following registration.
If lessons are not booked or commenced within this period, the course will be cancelled automatically, and no refund will be issued, as teaching time and resources are reserved upon registration.
5.4 Teacher Absence, Replacement & Continuity
In the event of a teacher’s absence, BOS Homeschooling will make reasonable efforts to minimise disruption by arranging one of the following, where appropriate:
A substitute teacher
A recorded lesson
Alternative academic work
Refunds, rescheduling, or lesson credits are not guaranteed in such cases.
While BOS Homeschooling endeavours to provide a stable teaching team, the School does not have control over individual teachers’ personal circumstances. Teachers may need to leave or be replaced due to health reasons, family matters, relocation, maternity leave, contractual changes, or other unforeseen circumstances.
In such cases, the School reserves the right to assign a different teacher and cannot guarantee continuity with the same teacher.
5.5 Timetable Changes & Operational Adjustments
BOS Homeschooling reserves the right to make reasonable timetable alterations, including changes to lesson times, groupings, or teacher assignments, where required due to operational, academic, or unforeseen circumstances.
Such changes do not constitute grounds for refunds, fee reductions, or contract termination.
5.6 No Retrospective Claims
Parents acknowledge that enrolment acceptance, continued attendance, or access to services constitutes acceptance of any reasonable adjustments made in accordance with this Section.
No retrospective claims, refunds, or fee disputes will be considered in relation to:
Late admissions
Teacher changes
Timetable adjustments
Delayed course starts within permitted limits
6. Warranties and Limitation of Liability
6.1 Educational Services Warranty
BOS Homeschooling warrants that its educational services and learning materials will be provided with reasonable skill, care, and professionalism, in line with accepted standards for online education.
The School does not guarantee specific academic outcomes, grades, examination results, or progression, as student performance depends on multiple factors beyond the School’s control, including student engagement, parental support, and individual ability.
6.2 Quality of Learning Materials
BOS Homeschooling endeavours to ensure that all learning materials provided are appropriate, age-appropriate, and of good educational quality. Materials may be updated, modified, or replaced from time to time to reflect curriculum changes, academic improvements, or operational needs.
6.3 Practical Activities & Home-Based Learning
BOS Homeschooling shall not be liable for any injury, damage, or loss arising from practical activities, experiments, or tasks carried out at home or elsewhere under parental supervision.
Parents/Guardians are fully responsible for:

Supervising all practical activities
Assessing the suitability of materials and equipment used
No harmful or toxic substances are required for BOS practical work. Any practical activity is undertaken at the Parent/Guardian’s own risk.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, BOS Homeschooling shall not be liable for:
Losses that were not foreseeable at the time this Agreement was entered into
Losses that were not caused by any breach or failure on the part of the School
Indirect, consequential, or incidental losses, including loss of opportunity, loss of data, loss of income, or emotional distress
6.5 Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, BOS Homeschooling’s total liability arising out of or in connection with this Agreement – whether in contract, negligence, breach of statutory duty, or otherwise – shall be limited to the total tuition fees actually paid for the relevant course or billing period, excluding registration fees, administrative fees, penalties, or third-party charges.
Nothing in these Terms shall exclude or limit liability where such exclusion is not permitted by law.
6.6 Technology, Downloads & Cybersecurity
While BOS Homeschooling takes reasonable measures to ensure that downloadable files, platforms, and resources are safe and secure, the School cannot guarantee that systems will be free from viruses, malware, or technical faults.
Parents/Guardians are responsible for installing and maintaining appropriate anti-virus software, security updates, and device protection on all devices used to access BOS services.
The School shall not be liable for damage, data loss, or system failure resulting from inadequate device security or third-party software issues.

Cyber attacks
Platform or server outages
Internet or power failures
Natural disasters

In such circumstances, no refunds or compensation will be issued. However, BOS Homeschooling will make reasonable efforts to minimise disruption and resume services as soon as practicable.

7.2 No Guarantee of Academic Outcomes

7.4 External Examinations & Private Candidate Status
BOS Homeschooling does not directly register pupils for external or formal examinations.
All pupils are considered private candidates, and responsibility for examination registration rests with the Parent/Guardian.
The School may, where appropriate, provide guidance and support to assist Parents/Guardians in navigating the examination process; however, such assistance does not transfer responsibility to the School.

It remains the sole responsibility of the Parent/Guardian to:
Locate and secure a suitable examination centre that accepts private candidates
Ensure that all registration deadlines, entry requirements, and documentation are met
Pay all examination fees, administrative charges, and centre-related costs

Missed registration deadlines
Rejection by examination centres

Examination centre cancellations or administrative decisions
Any issues arising from third-party examination providers
Any guidance provided by the School regarding external examinations does not constitute responsibility or liability for third-party examination providers or awarding bodies.

8.1 Purpose of Recordings and Uploaded Files
Lesson recordings, marked assignments, assessments, and teacher feedback are provided solely for educational purposes, including review, reflection, and academic progress tracking.
Access to such materials does not replace live attendance and does not constitute additional teaching time or personalised follow-up beyond what is contractually agreed.
8.2 Availability & Retention Period
All uploaded files, including (but not limited to) marked work, assessments, feedback, and lesson recordings, will remain accessible on the learning platform for a maximum period of three (3) months from the date of upload.
