1. Introduction

This Refund and Cancellation Policy applies to all bookings made with GLECTA Education Ltd ("GLECTA", "we", "us") including 11+ Mock Examinations, GCSE Mock Tests, and Online Tuition Programmes. By completing a booking you agree to the terms set out below.

ℹ️
Key principle
All cancellation requests must be submitted in writing via email to [email protected]. Verbal cancellations cannot be accepted. The date and time of your email is used to calculate notice periods.

2. Mock Test Refunds & Cancellations

Mock test places are in high demand and exam centres have fixed capacities. Once a place is held for your child, it is unavailable to other families. The following terms apply to all 11+ and GCSE mock tests booked through GLECTA.

72-Hour Cancellation Window
To be eligible for a refund, your written cancellation request must be received at least 72 hours before the scheduled start time of the mock test. Requests received after this window are not eligible for a refund under any circumstances, including illness.

Refund Schedule

Notice GivenRefundProcessing Time
More than 72 hours before test Full refund 5–10 working days
Less than 72 hours before test No refund
No-show on the day No refund
GLECTA cancels the session Full refund or free rebook 7 working days

Rescheduling

Transfer requests to a different date must be made more than 72 hours before the original test date and are subject to availability.

Illness & Emergencies

🏥
We cannot make exceptions for illness within the 72-hour window
Because exam centre places cannot be re-sold at short notice, we are unable to offer refunds for illness or emergencies notified within 72 hours of the test. Where possible, we may offer a goodwill credit toward a future booking at our sole discretion.

Online Mock Tests

The same 72-hour policy applies to online mocks. A "no-show" is defined as failing to log in within 15 minutes of the scheduled start time without prior notice.

3. Online Tuition Cancellations

Our tuition programmes involve tutor scheduling, resource preparation, and ongoing lesson planning. The following policy applies to all online tuition bookings.

📅
4 Weeks' Written Notice Required
To cancel an ongoing tuition programme, you must provide a minimum of 4 weeks' written notice sent to [email protected]. The notice period begins on the date your email is received and acknowledged. You remain liable for all fees due during the notice period.

Pausing Tuition

We do not offer formal pause arrangements. The standard 4-week cancellation notice applies if you need to stop. You are welcome to re-enrol when ready, subject to availability.

4. How to Request a Cancellation or Refund

  1. Email [email protected] with the subject: "Cancellation Request – [Child's Name] – [Test/Course Name]".

  2. Include your booking reference, the test or course name, and the reason for cancellation.

  3. You will receive an acknowledgement within 1 working day confirming whether your request falls within the eligible window.

  4. Approved refunds are processed within 5–10 working days to the original payment method.

5. General Terms

Discounted & Promotional Bookings

Refunds on discounted bookings are issued at the discounted price paid, not the full list price.

Referral Discounts

If a referral discount was applied to a booking that is subsequently cancelled and refunded, the referral credit awarded to the referring parent will be reversed accordingly.

Force Majeure

If GLECTA must cancel a session due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control (extreme weather, venue closure, public health restrictions, technical failure), we will offer a full rescheduled session at no additional cost or a full refund at your choice.

Governing Law

This policy is governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

Policy Updates

GLECTA reserves the right to update this policy at any time. The current version is always available at glecta.com/refund-and-cancellation-policy. Continued use of our services constitutes acceptance of any revised policy.
