Assisted Places

Assisted Places

The Governors provide a number of Assisted Places in the Senior Schools. School Assisted Places are available for pupils at 11+ who do well in the Entrance Examination but whose parents cannot afford full fees.

The assessment will normally be calculated as follows:

The total income of both parents before tax from all sources for the tax year which ends immediately before the start of the School year is taken into account.
An allowance of £1,745 for each dependent child (excluding the child in the scheme) is then deducted.
Any assistance that is available from other sources (e.g. relatives) is included.
Any assets held by the parents may also be considered.
Parents have to provide proof of their total gross income - such as a P60, or audited accounts and self-assessment returns, together with confirmation from the Inland Revenue of the amount of tax due and paid.
The income scales are revised each year to reflect inflation.
