Report of the Chamberlain (copy attached).

The Board considered a report of the Chamberlain advising Governors of the annual assessable income level below which the parent or guardian of a Foundation Scholar would not be expected to make a contribution to school fees. The report also advised of the allowance to be made against the parents or guardians assessable income for each dependent child that is not a Foundation Scholar.

RESOLVED – That, the Board approve:

·        an increase in the annual assessable income level below which the parent or guardian of a Foundation Scholar would not be expected to make a contribution to school fees from £12,890 to £13,350;

·        an increase in the dependent child allowance from £1,630 to £1,690; and

·        continuation of the current scheme of contributions as detailed in paragraph 3 of the report.
