An affordable education

As a community based school, we ask for a fee/contribution towards the cost of running the School. This contribution is worked out at about 40%-50% of an average independent school’s fees.

In addition between 30% and 40% of children at our school are on a bursary scheme. This all reflects a commitment across the school to making Waldorf education a viable choice to families who wish to make that commitment.

Please note that these are intended to be contributions to the cost of providing the entire education. Parents are not being asked to pay for the education of their child, but to contribute collectively to the cost of keeping the school going. Sibling discounts are given, these are currently 10% off the 2nd child and 25% off the 3rd child’s fees.

Additional expenses

Additional Tuition and Learning Support
Additional tuition required on admission to make a pupil ready for the school is charged for as an extra. Normally, additional tuition or learning support needs identified after a child is established in the school are included in the tuition charge. However, the school reserves the right to charge in exceptional cases.
Eurythmy therapy is charged on the same basis as learning support.

Fee increases
The school will endeavour to give at least one term’s notice of a rise in fees; however, they reserve the right to impose a surcharge at any time in the event of a sudden and unpredictable rise in school running costs. Increases are kept to a minimum.

Payment
Fees are paid in advance, either in full at the beginning of the year or by termly or monthly Standing Order.

Application Fee
An application fee of £40 per child is to be submitted with the application form. This is to cover the costs of the interview and administration.

Deposit
A minimum deposit of 2 x months fees is payable upon acceptance of the offer of a place.

Leaving
One full term’s notice (or the payment of a full term’s fees in lieu) is required should you leave the school, upon receipt of which the deposit will be returned. This notice should be received by the School on or before the first day of term.
