When the grant finishes for a particular term, then you are in a full pay situation until the next term begins. Fees will be charged at the regular session price (mentioned above) during the non-grant periods. If you wish to you can amend your child’s schedule, or book your child out for the non-grant periods. We will hand all relevant paperwork out prior to the non-grant periods If you deregister your child for the summer break (usually 6 weeks) and would like them to return in the new term, you will be required to pay a re-registration fee of £40.00, which is payable at the end of the term (July) and sign the required paperwork. If you do not, you may find that we fill the available spaces and you may not be able to restart at the commencement of the new term. During the non-grant time, a good number of parents choose to keep to their regular schedule, as regular school activities remain in place throughout the whole year - with the exception of Christmas when the school is closed. When you wish to deregister your child, please ask your child’s key person for a ‘leaving notification letter’ which must be handed in no later than two weeks before your child leaves. Attached to the letter is a ‘parental exit questionnaire’, it would be greatly appreciated if you could take a few minutes to fill the form in and either hand it back to your child’s key person, or place it in the suggestion box outside the main office. Could we please ask that parents check their child’s balance on the computer to ensure there are not any outstanding fees. Please remember, that the computer’s balance only records fees up to the previous Friday and not the current week. Please ask Sharon to add on the last week.
