Fees in Advance
We have recently reviewed our Fees in Advance Scheme. The objective of this scheme is to provide a method where the cost of your child’s education at The Gregg Schools Trust can be reduced by making an advance lump sum payment. Further information on the scheme and details of how to apply can be found here.
VAT on School Fees
From January 2025, the Trust have agreed to absorb half of the VAT for two terms until September 2025, passing on only 10% of the proposed VAT charge. A further decision regarding VAT on fees from September 2025 will be made once the Government position has been clarified, and we will provide a further update at that time.
Please note: Those children in Reception who are receiving the Nursery Fund do not pay VAT up to and including the term in which they turn 5 years old.
In parallel to the decision about VAT, the The Gregg Schools Trust continues to look at opportunities to reduce and/or streamline costs, and we will share more progress here as and when we are able to.
The Gregg Schools Trust remains focused on ensuring the delivery of the quality of education you have come to expect, and as a charity, any surplus we make is reinvested back into the schools and student opportunities. This will continue to be the case.
