NURSERY GRANT

The Nursery Grant is currently worth £8.50 per session and is available for 3 and 4 year olds. This provides a discount of approximately half fees for a full day.

Autumn Term Payment = 4 monthly payments on the 1st of September, October, November and December.
Spring Term Payment = 4 monthly payments on the 1st of January, February, March and April.
Summer Term = 4 monthly payments on the 1st of May, June, July and August.

School Fees are non-refundable. We regret that there can be no reduction due to illness or holidays during school terms as you are paying for a place for your child.

Notice to leave must be given in writing at least 1 full term in advance. Failure to so will result in your being liable for a full terms fees. Please see Registration Form.

Payments may be made by standing order, or cheque payable to Nicholas and Alison Alp or by cash. Please ensure that you always pay on time.

Admissions Procedure

After visiting our school with your child you need to fill in the enclosed registration form and send it to us as soon as possible with a cheque for the registration fee of £100 (non-refundable) and £2,000 deposit (refundable). Upon acceptance your child will be asked to attend a minimum of one introductory morning at the school, preferably 2 weeks prior to actual enrolment. The first school fees payment will be due immediately after the introductory morning sessions with subsequent monthly payments to be made on the first day of each month by cheque, cash or by arrangement, standing order.

Leaving School

Naturally we would like all our children to start with us at 2 ½ and leave at 16. However we fully understand that some children will only attend the nursery class and others will join us at the primary or secondary stage. Whatever you choose to do we aim to always help make the transition as smooth as possible and support you in whatever decision you make. Since starting our school we have established links with some local infant and primary schools and can offer fairly impartial advice!

A question many parents ask us is how does a child go from our school to the very different environment of a state school? And the answer we always give is this. At our school our most cherished aim is to build your child’s confidence and awareness. When children are at peace with themselves and are full of self-confidence they are better equipped to cope with whatever life should bring their way. Experience of children who have left our school certainly bears this out. In terms of making the transition academically you will find usually that your child is at least equal to his peers and in most cases more advanced, as although they have attended fewer lessons their education has been far more thorough and far reaching.
