Fees and Bursaries
Independently Funded
We are an independently funded school. The most significant part of our income is generated by fees. We aim to keep these as low as possible, whilst providing the best resources, staffing and learning environment for our children.
Please find a summary of our fees at the bottom of this page. Please note that we are able to offer free childcare to children who are 3 and 4 years old and entitled to 15 or 30 hours free childcare. If you would like more information please contact our School Manager Ola Mustapha, email ola@lisal.school

Bursaries
We seek to provide an inclusive educational experience for the children at our school and appreciate that not all families who wish to join the school community have equal means to be able to do so. To help families in need, we offer a limited number of bursary assisted places.
The bursaries are funded by allocating a percentage of the full fees paid by parents, fundraising activities and donations. The aim of the school is not to provide long-term support but to help families on low incomes, that have very small children or specific circumstances that do not allow them to work full-time.
Bursary places are available to families with at least 1 child in the school or intending to join the school who is over 5 years old. To qualify, families should have a household income of less than £35,000 and capital of less than £10,000 (excluding main home). We operate a sliding scale of bursary assistance. For more detail please contact our office ola@lisal.school
Sibling discount: 15% discount for the second sibling and any subsequent sibling attending the school.
