School Fees

School fees and fees for additional services such as clubs, outings, extras etc. are calculated by the Governors under the advisement of the Bursar. We aim to generate a surplus of income over expenditure to make possible the necessary investment in the provision of facilities, staff, resources and property.

The Registration Fee is £100 and is non-refundable.  Term dates and registration information are available upon request or downloadable from the relevant pages on our website.  A confirmation deposit of £300 is payable upon confirmation of a place.  The fee will be repaid within 12 weeks of a child leaving Hopelands less any sums owing to the school at that time. 

The school fees, per term, from September 2012 are:

Early Years Foundation Stage Fox Cubs Nursery 3 to 4 Years Morning (8.30am - 12.10pm) £26.70

School fees are payable in advance at the beginning of each term. Nursery fees are payable in advance at the beginning of every half term.

One full term’s notice will be given by the Governors regarding any increase in school fees.
