Sibling Discount Policy
- For the purposes of this policy the definition of a sibling is: The pupil must be one of three or more children (biologically or legally adopted) having one or both parents in common.
- The discount is not available to family members outside the sibling relationship such as stepbrothers/sisters.
The following subsidies will apply from September 2024 for families with three or more children who attends any school in the Gardener Group of schools – Ravenscourt Park Preparatory School, Kew Green Preparatory School, Kew House School and Maida Vale School and Kew Green Nursery.
- 5% discount for every child
Please note that these are only effective as long as the siblings remain in school or if a sibling attends any school in the Gardener Group.
- The discount would cease if/when one of the other two siblings leave the school or from any school in the Gardener Group.
- Pupils in receipt of the sibling discount are not eligible for any other discounts.
Fees in Advance
The school operates a fees in advance scheme which allows you (or your family members) to make payment, by means of a lump sum, for all or part of your child’s tuition fees for their time at school. For clarity, it is only a contribution towards tuition fees and not lunches or supplemental fees.
The amount you deposit with the school is then used towards paying your child’s tuition fees as they fall due each term. In return for paying your fees in advance, the school pays a commutation rate of 2.0% p.a. which approximates to a return on investment of 3.33% p.a. for 40% rate taxpayers.
It should be noted that the scheme does not fix future school fees, however the rate of return you receive will be guaranteed at the time the money is received and for the duration it is held by the school.
If you have any queries then please contact the school’s Finance Controller, Mrs Neha Gandhi at neha.gandhi@gardenerschools.com.
