The Governing Board has agreed a small increase to our childcare and specialist club fees from 3rd September 2026.
Fees from 3rd September 2026:
The last time we increased fees was in September 2024. Since then, we have done everything we can to keep costs as low as possible. We have absorbed rising staff costs, including national pay awards and increases to employers’ National Insurance contributions, as well as higher day‑to‑day running costs. We are no longer able to cover these increases without adjusting our fees.
Before making this decision, we compared our prices with other local schools. This benchmarking shows that our childcare and specialist clubs remain good value for money. Families tell us they appreciate our flexible offer. Our fees still compare favourably with schools nearby.
We know any increase matters to families, and we remain committed to providing high‑quality, safe childcare that supports pupils and parents.
