Fee Structure Commencing 1st September 2004

The company was very pleased to see St Piran’s achieving such a good Ofsted report considering the relatively short time we have had to undertake a range of improvements to the school.
We are sure you will share our pleasure at this clear recognition of the schools’ achievements and the progress being made. The company would also wish to acknowledge the considerable contribution made by Mrs Carol de Labat and the whole staff team at St. Piran’s to this report.

You may be aware that legislation introduced in 2002 and new Ofsted Inspection processes implemented in September 2003 have significantly impinged on the costs of providing independent education.

As we have previously stated the Company remains determined to maintain its principle of providing a high quality education at both a competitive and affordable price. However, in line with the whole independent sector, whilst absorbing some of these increases, we are faced with no alternative to passing on others through increased fees. You can be assured that the cost of educating your child at St Piran’s Preparatory School will continue to demonstrate excellent value for money. You will find detailed below the revised fee structure, which we understand continues to be between 40% and 70% under that of similar providers, for the forthcoming 2004/2005 academic year.
