Private School Fees - School refusing to reduce fees during summer term
Was wondering if anybody else has their children and private schools (it's not a luxury for me as state schools in region are not up to scratch) and has had to deal with a school being completely unreasonable.
A large group of parents has sent them a few letters and so far their continued stance of no reduction in fees has continued.
It is a luxury because I'll bet the state schools are more than fine and they just aren't good enough for Tarquin and Allegra.

We've been given a 15% discount. Given that they were meant to be sitting A Levels and were about to be sent home for "Study Leave" anyway, it's a bit of an unexpected bonus.

are they still doing schooling?
Most state schools are doing remote lessons with Teams.
I reckon you'd get a discount on the boarding fees though.
Is this because during lockdown you'll not be able to benefit from normal school activities?
We have taken the approach that we don't want them to be out of pocket but they would be expected to make a small contribution. a 20-30% reduction would be the minimum that should be offered given there won't be much of a service.
