Sibling Discounts

We offer discounts for families with multiple children at the school:

Second child 5%
Third child & onwards 10%

Discounts apply to tuition fees only and to the younger child/children. Not stackable with scholarships, bursaries, or other fee concessions — only the higher benefit applies. No sibling discount for government-funded Nursery or Reception places. Discount is conditional on full and timely payment of all fees. Non-contractual — may be varied on one full term's notice.

Notice of Leaving

One full term's written notice is required if you wish to withdraw your child from the school. This notice must be given to the Headteacher before the start of the term preceding the term of departure. Fees in lieu of notice will be charged if insufficient notice is given.
