EYFS Funding

*St John’s participates in the 15 hours free Early Years Education Scheme. Under current guidelines, this funding is also applicable in Reception up until the term after your son turns 5.

We strongly recommend full time attendance at our Nursery as an appropriate preparation for our Reception class at St John’s, full time reception is also recommended for all boys (including those under 5) to ensure appropriate academic progression.

Fees are broken down as follows:

First 15 hours per week for under 5’s (12pm-3pm): £1000 per term (free where eligible for 15 hours funding)
Additional hours, specialist teaching and outdoor learning: Nursery £3,555 per term. Reception £5,475 per term.

Paying School Fees

Direct Debit is our preferred method of payment in which case the full fees for the term are collected on the first day that boys return to school.

You can download a Direct Debit mandate should you wish to pay by this method.

DOWNLOAD DIRECT DEBIT MANDATE

To ensure we are able to collect fees in this way please return your Direct Debit mandate to the School Office no later than two weeks before the start of term.

Parents who are already using this method of payment do not need to complete new forms.

Please note, the Direct Debit must be set up using the bank account of those who receive the invoice as we are unable to accept payments in the name of companies or other family members.
