Christian Schools in Britain are not subsidised by the State. The full-time staff receive professional salaries and there are the usual costs associated with the provision of quality teaching. Guidelines are therefore given to all parents, who are asked to make a realistic monthly contribution to the cost of the education of their child(ren).
The cost in 2004/5 is £300 per pupil per month for 12 months of the year. Third children at the school are offered a 50% discount and fourth pupils in the school are not charged for at all.
No child is excluded on the basis of low parental income, recognising both the importance of God's directive to correctly educate our children, and the fact that some parents can make large non-monetary contributions to the School. Where parents can not meet the full cost bursaries are available on a means-tested basis.
Christians without
children at the School may join the Association as Associate Members and will
receive regular news and prayer topics for the School. They may support the
School or individual pupils financially, normally through tax-efficient Gift-Aid giving if tax payers.
