Terms & Conditions 2017-2018Attendance

The nursery day is from 8:00am to 6:00pm. Part-time places for children under 2½ years are offered subject to availability, mornings

only. Attendance must be for a minimum of two morning sessions depending upon age, which

are regular and repeating. If a part-time child is absent on his or her usual day of attendance, it is not possible to

attend on another day instead.

Basis of charges

In the Nursery Department fees are calculated over 45.4 weeks of the year.

Complaints Procedure

Milton Keynes Preparatory School prides itself on the quality of the teaching and pastoral care provided to its pupils. However, if parents have a complaint, they can expect it to be treated by the school in accordance with the Complaints Procedure, a copy of which is available from the school office, upon request, or via the website.

Parents can be assured that all complaints and concerns will be treated seriously and confidentially.

General

A non-refundable registration fee is payable by all new children. Fees are payable in advance, either by monthly direct debit on the first day of the month,

or termly on the first day of each term, or annually on the first day of the new academic year.

If payment is not made on the due date, interest of 10% may be charged. For those who enter the school mid-year, the fees are calculated according to the date of

entry from any half term and therefore monthly payments may differ from those printed on the fees sheet.

There is no reduction in fees if a child is absent due to illness, holidays taken in term time, or any other reason.

Parents who arrive after 6:00pm (or 6:30pm if that is their normal time for collection) are charged £20.00 per half hour, or part thereof, per child, unless they have pre-booked.

Fees are subject to an increase at the start of each academic year. Parents who do not collect a sick child within an hour of being contacted will be charged

£10.00 per hour until they arrive. A sibling discount is available for younger brothers and sisters who apply to enter the

school.

Terms & Conditions 2017-2018Illness and Medicines

Children who are ill should remain at home. Children suffering from sickness and/or diarrhoea should stay away for 48 hours after the

symptoms cease. Medicines, including inhalers, may be given to children if necessary. These should be

handed in at the office and the medicine book should be signed by the child’s parent.

Meals

All meals are included for children over 1 year.

Notice period

In the Nursery department one complete month’s notice of removal should be given by letter to the Headmaster. Failure to give the required notice will result in one month’s fees being charged in lieu of notice.

When a child transfers to the Pre-Preparatory department this period of notice extends to one term.

Policies

A list of the school’s statutory policies is given to new parents upon their child’s admission to school.

Parent Support
