Schedule of Fees

For our Pre-School children, we accept:

• 15 hours universal funding per week (based on 6 hours 15 minutes per school), which the school will support with applying for

• 30 hours Working Family 3 to 4-year-old funding, which parents need to apply for directly with the government

This begins the term after the child turns three. For instance, if your child turns three in October, the free hours would be available from the following January when the Spring Term commences. The free childcare hours will be deducted from your termly bill.

In order to claim this funding you will need to sign a parental agreement. Thereafter, attendance is charged at £10.19 per hour for Pre-School. The costs for Reception shown above factor in this funding.

In order to claim the 15 hours of universal funding the government stipulates the following:

• Autumn Term, your child must be 3 before 31 August

• Spring Term, your child must be 3 before 31 December

• Summer Term, your child must be 3 before 31 March.

Please contact the Finance Team by emailing bills@hymers.org to confirm your eligibility and to check the deadline for us to apply for your 15 hours of universal funding.

We do not accept:

• Working Family 2-year-old funding

Supervised before and after school care is provided free of charge from Reception. For Pre-School children, there is a small extra charge for this.

For pupils who cannot be picked up before after school care/homework club ends, a daily penalty of £20 will apply plus an extra penalty of £20 per 15 minutes. Please note that we expect the vast majority of pupils to be collected by 5:45pm.

If you wish to pay by Direct Debit, please print and return the direct debit mandate and schedule agreement asap. For September 2025 entry, this should be by Monday 28 July 2025.

If you do not have access to a printer and you need this form sending by post, please email admissions@hymers.org.

Please indicate on the form if you wish to pay the fees in full by the first day of each term or by eleven monthly instalments. Termly payments are collected on or soon after 1 September, 1 January and 1 April. Monthly instalments are collected on or soon after the first of each month from September to July inclusive.

In both cases, charges for extras incurred in the previous term will be collected on or soon after 1 October, 1 February and 1 May. This gives you time to resolve any queries which you may have with the Finance department. Invoices will continue to be issued on a termly basis. The Finance office remains open throughout the year apart from public holidays and the period between Christmas and New Year.

Should excess funds be collected in error, these will be refunded immediately. You may cancel the direct debit instruction by informing your bank in writing and advising us immediately.

Requests to pay fees by instalments will only be considered if parents agree to accept the direct debit system.

There are no additional administration or interest charges to parents paying fees by instalments under the direct debit scheme.

There are no additional administration or interest charges to parents paying fees by instalments under the direct debit scheme, provided the fees are able to be collected at the appropriate time.
