Sibling Discount
Parents who apply for and accept a place for their third child (and any subsequent children) at St Joseph’s will be eligible for a discount of 15% on the fees of the youngest child (or children). The discount will only apply while all siblings are in full time education at the school.
Early Years Funding and Childcare Vouchers
Up to 15 hours of nursery funding is available to contribute towards fees for three and four year olds. The funding for each term varies and is based on your child’s attendance pattern and the number of days in the term.
St Joseph’s College participates in the government salary sacrifice childcare
voucher and Tax-Free Childcare schemes and accepts the Student Childcare
Grant. For Pre-Reception children, these schemes can be used to pay for school
fees, extended day and holiday club.
