We offer different levels of support based on household income:
Free places — for households with a total income of £30,000 or less
Subsidised places — for households earning £30k–£45k (discount based on circumstances, including siblings, single-parent families and caring responsibilities)
Discounted rate — for households earning £45k–£60k
This applies to weekly sessions and holiday workshops — so if your child receives a free place in term-time classes, they'll also have access to free places on holiday programmes.
