Busy Bees Childcare Vouchers
There is a scheme which benefits employed parents who elect to buy childcare vouchers from their gross salary, before tax and national insurance have been deducted. Raphael is hoping to take part in the scheme. Details from the school administrator, or you can ring 08000 430860 for more information from Busy Bees.

Sibling Discount
There is a 10% reduction on fees for a second full time child within the same family. This applies to both Kindergarten and the Lower school.but is not applicable to children receiving nursery vouchers.

Donations
Parents wishing to make an extra contributions over and above the fee, may do so by Gift Aid, allowing the school to claim back the tax. For example, £600 would become £769 to us. We are a registered charity.
