Fees and Funding

Children are eligible for 15 hours free early learning after their 3rd birthday and some families are eligible for 30 hours free early learning. For more information about 30 hours free early learning please follow the link: https://www.gov.uk/30-hours-free-childcare.

Government funded Nursery days run from 9:00am - 3:00pm as our school day runs from 8:30am - 3:15pm there will be an additional 45 minutes of childcare outside the funded hours which will be charged at £3.00 per day and payable at the school office. This only applies to children attending 30 hours or 2 ½ days. This wrap around care will not be charged if your child is not in the Academy. 

Children can either pay £2.95 a day for a school dinner unless they are entitled to free school meals or children can bring a packed lunch with them. Please be reminded that when your child starts reception packed lunch will not be an option because all children will be entitled to universal free school meals. 

You can also pay to increase your child’s hours to 30 hours at a cost of £42.50 per week, this is not inclusive of the wrap around care and will be payable during absence and holidays. 

All Nursery and lunch fees are to be paid at the School Office every week. Please note that if any fees are not kept up to date then we have the right to revoke your child’s place. If you have any questions about 30 hours FEL please contact the School Office.
