Online payment

The school has a system for paying online for nursery fees, breakfast and after school clubs, school trips etc.  You will receive a letter with further details.  As an eco-school we aim to reduce the amount of paper that the school distributes and we are increasingly using the website and email to communicate with parents and carers.

Voluntary Contributions for the year

To help parents and carers budget for the academic year please see the table below for anticipated costs for your child's class.  Please note that the costs in blue font are last year's prices as we do not yet know the final cost of the event.
