Times have been challenging during the past 12 months, the schools have been closed and our children are told to be self disciplined and independent during these challenging times.

As parents we are keeping the lights on, working during challenging times but in addition the school have mandated that we have had to support and mentor our children during a school day as tutors to ensure all school work is completed, as well as providing materials, printing work, providing meals and also funding any other activities normally provided by the school.

Additionally it does not feel charitable to ask local businesses such as catering or school buses to review and refund costs when they have fixed costs and small margins, as well as employing local staff who are relying on a wage.

As fee paying parents we are asking for the school to review fees during the 2020 terms and to adjust to a more reasonable level due to the costs and time that have been transferred to all parents and families.
