Chafyn Grove Fees in Advance Policy May 2024

Fees in Advance FAQs

For actively serving members of HM Armed Forces we provide a 20% discount for day pupils and casual boarders (non-CEA claimants). Full boarders’ discount varies from year to year and is calculated by reference to the rate of CEA and the minimum parental contribution of 10%.

Please contact the Bursar for more information on military discounts or to discuss CEA and boarding options.

Military discounts are applied on application, though those involving CEA funding will usually require confirmation before a place can be offered.

Discounts continue for as long as the child remains at Chafyn Grove School and the discount conditions apply.

My School Fee Plan

The Governors of Chafyn Grove School are committed to broadening access to the school by offering to eligible families means-tested financial support. Such a discount is known as a Bursary. To apply for a bursary, please mention that you would like information as part of your application. The bursary procedure is separate to the standard admissions procedure and in no way changes that process. All awards are subject to annual review and significant bursaries will involve an assessment from an external company, BAL Ltd. or further details on any aspect of this process, please contact our Head of Finance, Ginny Woodhouse (01722 420877 / bursarysupport@chafyngrove.co.uk).

CGS Bursary Policy

While Chafyn Grove is justifiably proud of the scholarship success its pupils enjoy to Senior schools, we do not offer scholarships ourselves. The principal reason for this is to devote funds instead to means-tested bursaries, rather than talent-tested scholarships where financial support may not be needed. We have a record of developing such talents which is exemplary, and are confident that this is the correct recompense for such a situation.

The Childcare Voucher scheme has now been closed to new applicants and superceded by the Tax-Free Childcare scheme.  Chafyn Grove is a registered provider under the Tax-Free Childcare scheme and all information on this scheme can be accessed at childcarechoices.gov.uk.
