When joining HPSN2 a school enters into a three year agreement. This term starts from the migration date. In the unlikely event a school wishes to leave before the end of the three year term then these termination fees will apply:

	Year 1	Year 2	Year 3
% of remaining charges to be paid (until end of contract)	100%	90%	80%

If a school wishes to terminate its HPSN2 connection we require written notice from the headteacher with six months’ notice. Cancellation fees will not apply for schools that move to academy status and choose to retain their HPSN2 service.
