Free places - for children from households with a total income of *£30,000 or less.
Subsidised places - for children from households with a total income of £30k - £45k. We offer a percentage discount, based on factors including; number of siblings, single parent structure and caring responsibilities.

The above structure will also apply to our half term and school holiday programmes. For example, if they are offered a free place in regular weekly sessions, they will also have access to free places on our School Holiday workshop programmes.
WHEN CAN I APPLY?
We can take applications all year round, providing there is funding available. The fund is limited and awards are made on a first come, first serve basis.
Once your child has been in for an initial class trial (free for all), you will be asked to complete a short application form for assessment by our partners and executive board.
