"Many, O Lord my God are the wonders you have done"
Psalm 40 v 5
Finance
A Charitable Trust has been established to support the School. As an independent
school no financial assistance will be received from the State. Therefore, the
School is reliant on fees and gifts from groups or individuals in order to cover
costs, repay borrowings and build a reserve to cover major expenses which may
arise. A bursary fund exists to help families in financial difficulty. This is
also funded by donations from individuals, churches and other organisations.
The current fees are £918.75 per term. When more than one child in a family
attends the School, there is a discount for younger siblings.
Fees Policy
Fee Levels
Fee levels will be set by Governors annually for the following academic year. The revised fee levels must be notified to existing (and prospective parents) before the start of the summer term.
Fees for external examinations are payable in addition to the school fees.
Fee Revisions
The Governors will reserve the right to review fees at any time during the academic year. However, at least one term’s notice must be given before commencement of any fee changes.
Fees Payment
Fees must normally be paid in advance at the beginning of each term. In certain circumstances, fees may be paid monthly in advance by special arrangement with the Governors. If monthly payments are made the annual fees will be paid in 12 equal instalments. Payments will commence at the beginning of September and will be completed with the payment in the following August.
It is important to note that in the case of a pupil leaving the school in July, the August payment will still be required to complete payment for the full academic year. In the event of pupils leaving during the academic year, parents will be advised of the correct amount outstanding in the month before departure.
At least one term’s notice should be given of the intention to remove a pupil from the School. Failure to give adequate notice will incur a term’s fees from the date of notice.
Payment Methods
Payments made at the beginning of term should be made by cheque, not cash. Payments on a monthly basis must be made in the first two weeks of each month by standing order.
