Fee Structure

Fees in response to COVID-19:

In light of current circumstances and the fact that it is highly likely children will not physically be in school, we have reviewed our school fees for the Summer term 2020. 

Whilst many schools continue to charge full fees, Bellevue Education have made  the following arrangements for Brabyns Preparatory School:

• Parents of day pupils will be asked to pay 70% of day fees

Parents who are able, and willing to  pay 100% fees - or more than 70%  - are encouraged to do so; any contribution above the 70% will be put into a dedicated fund to support other parents at this school who are facing temporary hardship and need assistance with fees. Bellevue will match, pound for pound, any contribution made in this way.

• Parents of nursery or pre-Reception aged children will be charged 15% of their last monthly bill. We recognise we are not delivering online learning for this group, but your contribution will very much help in supporting the school.
• Fees in September 2020 will at the minimum be kept at the 2019/20 original level, although we will continue to be mindful of the economic climate.

Fees per term for Academic Year 2020/21 are as follows:

Nursery Attendance

We mainly have part-time (5 or 6 sessions) available for Little Gems children (2/3 year olds), if you would like full-time place please ask Mrs Mitchell with regard to availability. 

When children move to Kindergarten (3/4 year olds) they automatically have a full-time place. Children do not need to attend full-time but are charged for this. 

*EYEE Funding (15 Hours Free Entitlement)

Currently, from the term following your child's 3rd birthday, the Government provides 15 hours Free Entitlement for all 3 and 4 year olds for 38 weeks per year only. This is automatically taken off the fees. Currently this provides a saving of up to £750 per term. Fees will be charged for weeks over and above 38 weeks for all sessions at our current rates and terms. 

**30 Hours Free Childcare

We offer 30 hours the free childcare scheme for 3 and 4 years olds for 38 weeks per year only.  To qualify for the scheme, children must be registered to attend School on full time basis.  Parents must be working and each earning at least £120 a week (on average) and not more than £100,000 each a year.

Tax-free Childcare

This scheme allows parents to pay money into an online account. For every £8 paid in by parents the government will contribute £2, with an annual limit of £8000 annually per child. The arrangement is open to the self-employed. The scheme is paid for by parents from post-tax and employee NI contributions; there are certain conditions in terms of employment and income that parents must meet in order to pay into the scheme.
