Fees

Fees are due and payable on or before the first day of each term. Late payments increase the school's costs and affect fee levels for all parents. We reserve the right to charge interest on outstanding balances. If interest is applied it will be added at a rate of 1% per month from the second day of term.

There are three ways to pay your fees and extras:

• By bank transfer to the account of 'Prior Park Educational Trust', account number: 70073296, sort code: 20-47-06 (Barclays Bank PLC, Bank). Please ensure that the pupil's name and account number are quoted on the transfer details. IBAN: GB21BARC20470670073296
• By cheque payable to 'Prior Park Educational Trust' on or before the first day of term. Please ensure that details of the school, your child and the term that you are paying for are written on the reverse of the cheque.
• Payments can also be made via School Fee Plan - who offer a monthly payment facility. Further details can be found at the following link:

Prior Park Schools are pleased to award a discount to parents who have two or more children simultaneously at our schools. A discount of 5% will be applied for a second child, 10% for a third, 15% for a fourth and 20% for a fifth child. Subject to the points below:

• discounts will not be applied in addition to any assistance the family receives in the form of a Bursary. This is because the level of support given by Prior Park in these cases already takes account of all factors including the presence of siblings at other Prior Park Schools;
• discounts will be applied to the fees of the oldest child. That is, if there are two children the older will receive a 5% discount. If there are three children the oldest will receive a 10% discount and the middle child a 5% discount while all three are at Prior Park Schools;
• the scheme will be applied regardless of the stage of education within Prior Park Schools; i.e. it does not matter whether siblings are in Prior Park College, The Paragon or Prior Park Schools Gibraltar, providing they are in full-time education;
• discounts will normally be a percentage of the relevant school fee.

The discounts applied can be clearly seen in the following table:

Bursaries are awarded according to the Prior Park Schools' Means Tested Bursary Policy in response to parental need, either to relieve difficulty in the family of an existing Paragon pupil, or to enable entry to Prior Park College by pupils whose parents could not otherwise afford the fees.  A completed Bursary Application Form is required from the parent(s) as a statement of the family’s financial position. The Financial Controller will be happy to discuss individual applications.

In the event that a bursary award is granted this will subsume all other discounts provided as these will be taken into account in the eligibility review. 

Children may be eligible to receive funding from the Government under its Early Years Entitlement Scheme, up to a maximum of 15 hours per week. If eligible, under the scheme, the funds are paid to the school to help meet the cost of pre-school and reception costs, once forms have been signed off.

The pupil becomes eligible for funding during the term of his or her third birthday, up to and including the term he or she reaches five years of age.

This entitlement is subject to change and is outside the control of the school. If you would like any further information about the Early Years Entitlement Scheme, please contact Mrs Alison Rabbitts, the Fees Clerk for Prior Park Schools at: arabbitts@priorparkschools.com

We accept Child Care Vouchers which can be used to pay for Pre-School (Nursery) fees. They can also be used for care for older children such as out-of-school clubs, afterschool clubs and holiday camps. If you require further information on Child Care Vouchers, then you should contact Mrs Alison Rabbitts at arabbitts@priorparkschools.com
