Fee Remission Policy
With evidence that a child is in receipt of free school meals
or that parents are in receipt of certain benefits as a result of
their financial situation, the Trust will remit 70% of the fee.
In exceptional cases of hardship the Trust will remit 100% of the
fee subject to available resources.
Instrumental Loan Scheme
The Trust has a stock of instruments that it can loan for a small
termly fee. In the case of individuals qualifying for remission,
the loan of an instrument is free of charge. Benefit from the scheme
is subject to availability. The Trust is always seeking to extend
the number of instruments it has at its disposal and any donations
are welcome. Details will also be given to parents wishing to purchase
an instrument.

| Pupils
are given the opportunity to take examinations or to participate
in the Associated Board of the
Royal Schools of Music [ABRSM] medals scheme. Currently
the Trust offers pupils the chance to take both practical and/or
theory examinations using either the ABRSM or Trinity syllabus.
Examinations take place three times per year, usually at the
end of each term. Dates of examination entry deadlines are published
in the Trust's termly newsletter, and guidelines for examination
entry are available from the Trust. No child will be forced
against his or her will to take an examination.
