As a charity, ACE operates on a non-profit-making basis; therefore the fees are fixed at a reasonable level.

In an emergency it is sometimes possible for children to have an extra session or lunch hour at a slightly higher rate than the normal fee. These must be paid for on the day on the following basis:

  • £1.50 per early morning
  • £19 per morning
  • £6 per supervised lunch hour
  • £12 per afternoon

Each child is expected to attend for at least one full term, as half a term’s written notice is required before he or she leaves. Because of the strong demand for places, parents are advised to apply well in advance, although they are not asked for a final commitment until shortly before admissions.

The school is registered with OFSTED, which means that ACE parents receive Early Years Education Funding from the term after their child’s third birthday. This reduces the cost of attending ACE by contributing up to £500 per term towards fees. We also operate a bursary fund for parents who cannot afford to pay full fees. The bursary is supported by public fundraising events and donations.
