Giggleswick School stands by its commitment to not pass on VAT

Giggleswick School proudly stands as the only school in the North committed to not passing this VAT onto current or future parents. This decision results in significant savings for families, enabling them to continue providing independent education for their children.

We remain dedicated to maintaining our high standards of academic excellence and delivering outstanding outcomes for our pupils.

Headmaster, Sam Hart, explained, “Considering the potential changes in the political landscape, we recognise the importance of doing everything within our power to shield our parents and pupils from significant increases in fees. In doing so, we remain wholly committed to maintaining the quality and breadth of our educational and pastoral offering. By deciding not to pass the VAT cost onto parents, we hope to provide reassurance and support during these uncertain times.”

Financial assistance

Giggleswick is a charitable foundation that has always sought to help remove the financial barriers that stand in the way of children joining our school. Through our scholarship and bursary schemes we are keen that children are able to join us on the basis of their ability and potential, irrespective of their parents’ ability to pay.

Prepaid Fees Scheme

Sibling allowance

Bursaries

Bursary awards are intended for lower income families and are available to help those parents and guardians who would not normally be able to afford the full fees. This helps ensure that pupils at Giggleswick School are drawn from a diverse range of backgrounds.

All bursaries are means-tested. A child must have an offer of a place to join us before applying for a bursary. The level of bursary awarded depends upon the degree of assistance required. This is assessed upon a declaration of income and assets and will be reassessed annually.

Other sources of financial assistance

Giggleswick School encourages parents and guardians to consider applying for support from other organisations which provide assistance with school fees. Further information is available from the Bursar.
