Financial Contribution 2010/2011

Fees and financial information

 

Fees will be invoiced and will be payable before the start of each term.

 

New families

 

All new families will incur the following costs:

 

 

Administration Fee (paid with application form) (Non-Refundable)	£45
Deposit (paid on receipt of admittance letter) (Refundable on withdrawal from School unless there are any fees / expenses outstanding.)	£500 per child

 

Notice:  Acceptance into any of our Kindergarten classes (including Buttercups Little Kindergarten) constitutes automatic enrolment in the Kindergarten (following the completion of the trial period of one term).  During the final year at Kindergarten, you will then be offered the opportunity to apply for admission into the Primary School.
 

Acceptance into any PrimarySchool class constitutes acceptance into the School up until your child reaches the end of the final year we provide for (currently Class 5), and progression through the School (following the completion of the trial period of one term) is automatic.  Voluntary withdrawal of a child from either Kindergarten or the Primary School after formal acceptance has been confirmed and the contract is signed is subject to a full term’s notice or a full term’s fees in lieu of notice being payable.  This is the case whether withdrawal should take place mid-term or at the end of an academic year.

Early Years Funding (EYF):

Children between the ages three and five, attending any of our Kindergartens (including Buttercups Little Kindergarten) are entitled to Early Years Funding. The funding is allocated to children from the term after they turn three until the end of term during which they turn five. Please consult the Local Authority website for further details.  The final decision of eligibility will rest with the Local Authority. The school’s registration with the scheme is subject to review and therefore its provision may change throughout the year.

 

Please note: Both the fees and the EYF entitlement will be set at the beginning of each term. Therefore you will be unable to change your child’s attendance pattern during the term in question.

Bursaries

A bursary form will be provided on request to any family who cannot raise sufficient funds to fulfil the financial contribution to the school. You must provide evidence that you have explored all other avenues of raising income or methods of payment, for example using a salary sacrifice scheme, or applying for working tax credits etc. Where no such alternatives have been attempted the school can provide a limited amount of advice on the options available before a bursary application will be considered. 

Please see our website for a copy of our Bursary Policy.
