Tuition Fees
If you are a full-time student aged 16, 17 or 18 on 1 September in the year your course begins and you have lived in the United Kingdom or another EU country for three years, there are no tuition fees. However, if you are a part-time, overseas or adult student, the College receives no funding for tuition and it charges a fee reflecting the full costs of provision: details are available from Catherine Cole, Deputy Principal (Student Services).
Gift Aid Donation
As a charitable organisation, the College invites a donation from parents of all full-time students at registration in the new academic year. The level suggested by governors is £100 for a two year course and £50 for a one year course. Payment is collected either in full, in September, or by a quarterly standing order of £12.50. Details will be available in June for new students with their enrolment briefing pack. For families on low income or in receipt of income support or the Working Tax Credit or Disabled Persons' Tax Credit, no payment is requested.
Daily Travel
The College has negotiated substantially discounted fares for students within the area served by Stagecoach (including Hook, Odiham, Wokingham, Sandhurst and Farnham) and for students travelling by rail from the all directions.
Education Maintenance Allowance
Students from families on low income may qualify for an Educational Maintenance Allowance. This financial support can be used to help with living and travel expenses, and to buy essential equipment and study materials. Application forms will be available from your current school and you should apply in Year 11, before you join the College in September 2010. Additional financial assistance may be available from the College Access Funds.If you would like further information, please contact Catherine Cole, Deputy Principal (Student Services).
