*Providing the fees for the term are paid in a single sum on the first day of term, the school allows a discount (reflected in the figures above) against the monthly payment scheme. Otherwise, the fees are payable monthly and the discount is not applied. To find out about paying on a monthly basis, please request further information from the bursary.

A deposit of £2,500 is payable upon entry to the school. This is returned when the child leaves the school, subject to the school having received payment of all sums due to it.**

Government schemes to help reduce fees

Local authority grant for younger children
If your child is under 5 on 1 September, 1 January or 1 April, for the term beginning in that month you may choose to take advantage of a Local Authority Grant (otherwise known as the Early Education Childcare Place funding or Nursery Education Grant) paid by the local authority to the school. This is attributed to a statutory maximum of 15 hours’ early years education per week. To cover contracted hours in excess of this statutory maximum, parents in receipt of the grant pay the difference between the amount of the grant and the school fees stated above. The grant is £1003,59 for the Autumn Term 2022. As a service for parents we intend to continue to participate in this scheme for as long as possible, but this is not guaranteed: the regulatory complexity and administrative burden for the school has recently increased and may become too onerous.

Childcare vouchers and tax-free childcare
The school accepts most companies’ childcare vouchers. It also accepts payments under the government’s tax- free childcare scheme introduced from September 2017.

**In certain very limited circumstances, the deposit is repayable only one term after the child has left the school.
