Partial exemption from paying the full school fee may be granted under exceptional circumstances. An income threshold has been established above which all parents MUST pay the FULL FEE. The Governing Body has employed the services of Charter Debt Management Services and Spencer Pittman Attorneys to follow up on unpaid fees.
All applicants for exemption are required to complete a detailed questionnaire which must be counter-signed by a Commissioner of Oaths. Applicants will be interviewed by the Governing Body during the course of the year to review their application.
Any parent wishing to apply for an exemption form must do so in writing. Forms are available from the Bursar’s Office between 07.30 and 15.30, Monday to Friday, on presentation of a written letter of application. The forms should be returned to the Principal by Friday, 18 February 2011.
Parents are encouraged to pay by debit order. If you require a form please contact the Bursar’s Office. All forms must be completed and returned by Monday, 24 January 2011.
The school currently incurs substantial costs related to cash deposits being received as payment of fees. These costs must be carried by the parent/guardian.

SAFETY FIRST
In the fast-paced, frenetic and frequently frightening world of the 21st Century in which we live, parents have to be aware of and concerned about so many issues affecting the well-being of their children. High on the priority list must always be the issue of safety and security. Due to the ongoing barrage of media information concerning accidents, urban crime, violence and even death, people do become somewhat numbed by the sheer volume of negative information. We therefore ask parents to read the following paragraphs carefully and thoroughly, to ensure that they are indeed taking all the necessary steps and precautions toward creating the safest possible environment, within their power, for their children to live within.
