SCHOOL FEES Annual fees for 2017/2018 are £11,448. The Governors require that fees be paid either termly, on or before the first day of term or by Direct Debit in ten equal installments, with the first one collected on 1 September and on the same day each month until June. Invoices are issued electronically. In the event that fees are not paid when due, the College reserves the right to charge interest at 4% above bank rate per month on any outstanding balance. A full term’s notice in writing of the withdrawal of a pupil from the College is required, alternatively a term’s fees of £3,816 are payable in lieu of notice. The same notice is required for coaches, and for lunches for pupils in the Sixth Form. Lunch charges are compulsory for all pupils. Visa and Mastercard credit card payments are accepted, but there is a 2.5% surcharge for this facility. The Governors review the fees each year and any change takes effect from the Autumn Term. Fee increases are routinely notified to parents by the start of the Summer Term. The Governors reserve the right to increase the fees at times other than annually if circumstances warrant it. Payment for public examination fees and all other extras will be added to each student’s account.

REGISTRATION Upon registering a pupil, a non-refundable fee of £100 is payable to cover registration procedures and the Entrance Examination. This can be paid by BACS.

Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) Sort Code: 16-00-18Account Number: 41455076Reference: Student’s Name please.

DEPOSITS Once the offer of a place at the College has been accepted a deposit of £500 is payable which is non-refundable in the event that the place is not taken up. Half of this deposit will be credited against the first term’s fees with the balance of £250 being returned, less any expenses incurred, after the pupil’s final term. The cost of any unreturned or damaged textbooks will be deducted from this deposit.

PERSONAL ACCIDENTINSURANCE The College participates in a pupils’ personal accident insurance scheme, operated by Marsh providing compensation for permanent disability or death, and includes dental cover. Cover is provided 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The cost of the Scheme is included in the fees.

Financial Information

A limited number of bursaries are available for those joining the College in circumstances of financial need, and also where parents get into financial difficulties once a child has started at the College. Further information is available from the Bursar. Scholarships are available for entry to Year 7. These are based on performance in the Entrance Examination. There are ten academic scholarships awarded each year which remain in place for five years from Year 7-11

Bursaries & Scholarships

08 | EDUCATING FOR LIFE

For students entering the Sixth Form, scholarships are awarded for Ethos, Outstanding Ability and Academic Achievement.

Where a student is in the Sixth Form and has a younger sibling in the College,the Sixth Form student is entitled to a Keeping Families Together Award. Further details for all of these awards are available from Mr Nicholas Crean, Deputy Head Pastoral.

The normal age for entry to Salesian College is 11. Occasionally, boys are admitted at other times provided that a vacancy exists. Parents or guardians may register their sons at any time but by 18 November at the latest before the year of intended entry.

Applications are invited from boys and girls for a place in the Salesian College Co-educationalSixth Form. Details and applications forms are available on request.

ENTRANCE EXAMINATION The Entrance Examination is held at Salesian College in the January of the year of entry. At 11, the test currently consists of papers in Mathematics, Verbal Reasoning and two papers in English. Boys are admitted on the basis of this examination and a confidential report from the Headteacher of your son’s present school. For boys who are abroad, we can arrange for the test

to be taken in their current school. It is not the policy of the College to issue past papers, however. Mr Crean, Deputy Headteacher Pastoral, would like to meet all prospective pupils to discuss the examination in detail. Students joining older year groups will sit separate assessments depending on the prospective year group. SIXTH FORM ENTRY A separate Sixth Form Prospectus is available on request. Applications should be submitted to the College by the end of November. Following an interview with the Headmaster and/or Deputy Headteachers, offers will be made in the Spring term. Acceptable candidates will be provisionally offered a place, subject to satisfactory GCSE grades being achieved. A minimum qualification of six B’s and an A or B grade in the intended A level subjects are required at GCSE. Induction Days will be held in the Summer term for both external and internal prospective sixth formers.
