What happens if my child cannot attend the examination?

We will help parents as best we can to avoid the cancellation process, however in some cases we understand that this cannot be avoided.

We have outlined below the rules as they currently stand.

You may withdraw your child from the exam once the date has been allocated, however we regret that no refund of fees will be given.

Your tutor may withdraw your child from the exam if they feel that the pupil is not ready, however again we regret that no refund of fees will be given.

If your child's exam date is inconvenient for any reason, unfortunately MfSF are unable to refund original entry fees. We will however do our very best to try and move the time of your exam to one you can attend. There is of course no guarantee that we can do this.

If your child is ill and needs to withdraw from the exam, a doctors note must be forwarded to MfSF Head Office and the Associated Board may offer a partial refund.
In all cases stated above, entry fees cannot be transferred to the next exam period.

The above are in line with the ABRSM rules and regulations.
