Notice of Withdrawal

Parents may utilise the services of School Fee Plan if they wish to pay fees in monthly instalments. This is not operated by the School and details can be obtained via the link below.
Bursaries
The Governors recognise that school fees may restrict parents from applying for a place at Lochinver House School and are committed to widening access to the education offered at the School.

|
Accordingly, the Governors provide funds each year from the School’s resources to assist such families, where parental means would be insufficient to meet the fees in part or in their entirety. Bursaries are awarded to pupils who will gain from a Lochinver House education and who will contribute to the life of the School. Bursaries are offered at the start of each academic year and are reviewed annually. Awards for pupils in any age group whose parents satisfy the rigorous means tested criteria are at the absolute discretion of the Governors and on the recommendation of the Head. A Bursary application will not be accepted if a Registration Form has not been submitted. The process of application commences once a pupil has completed a satisfactory assessment, and a place has been offered. If you would like to discuss our application process further, please contact Bursar. |
Childcare Vouchers
Lochinver House is registered with a variety of Childcare Schemes. The School is able to accept voucher payments towards school fees for pupils up to and including the term in which they turn five years old. Thereafter, payments from these schemes can also be accepted for Early Morning, Teatime or Late Stay Clubs.
