Chapter House Preparatory School and Queen Ethelburga's College are helped in their endeavours by The Martin Family Charitable Foundation.

Every year The Foundation pays for substantial capital improvements to resources and facilities.

In addition The Foundation provides Awards to parents every year in excess of £1,250,000

This section gives details of the different Awards currently available to parents.

In the case of there only being one Award remaining in any Category then preference for the allocation of the Award is automatically made to those parents who Register their child first.

The Head Teacher of Queen Ethelburga's College, Head Teacher of Chapter House, or Registrar may recommend parents for an Award. Please note though that the final decisioncan only be made by, and the Award funded by, the Trustees of The Martin Family Charitable Foundation.

Likewise the decision whether to increase, decrease or cease any Award, or add or vary any conditions attaching to an Award, can only be made by the Trustees of the Charitable Foundaton.

Important
You will see that, although there are a substantial number of Awards in total, each Award is often specific:- Age group, Specific gender, Academic course related, or a particular combination of the above. Thus in each sector there are only a small number of Awards. It is therefore recommended that early application is made to avoid disappointment, if you are seeking a particular Award. Acceptance of any Award is considered acceptance of the these notes, specific conditions noted on some Awards if that Award is granted, and the terms and conditions printed on the back of the Registration Form. Availability of any Category of Award can be determined upon calling the College.

The Foundation receives regular reports from both Schools covering such matters as; academic progress, effort, behaviour and attitude, any serious breaches of trust or school rules, attendance, and whether a pupil is generally supporting their school, when requested, in extra-curricular activities, open days and the like and does not miss days during term time due to holidays, late arrival at the beginning of term or early departure at the end of term. When an Award is granted by The Foundation, it is expected in return that obligations as above should never become a cause for concern. If, a report however, is received about a pupil granted an Award [where concern is expressed] the Trustees will review the Award in conjunction with the Head Teacher, to decide whether to continue, reduce or, in serious cases, remove it altogether.

All Awards Are Discretionary.

(a) Only 1 Award per pupil made - combinations of Awards are not possible.

(b) All Awards are considered "up to" and less may be offered.

(c) All Awards may be subject to possible means ~ income testing ~ financial need validation.

(d) All parents in receipt of any Award are reminded that the Award is withdrawn, and all amounts granted will be repayable in full, if the School Fees Bill is not paid 7 days prior to the commencement of each term, and or, if a pupil does not complete their education with us for any reason, regardless of commencement age, until the completion of the end of Year 13. ~ (In the case of HM Forces parents in receipt of the Armed Forces Remission the minimum requirement of stay is nine consecutive terms or the end of Year 13 whichever is the sooner.)

(e) The Trustees seek to be fair in apportioning their resources. Any single Award, or collective Awards for a family, worth in any one year, more than £10,000 requires the written agreement of at least 2 Trustees. Any Award granted worth more than 50% of fees is funded from a special donation to the Charity for this specific purpose.

(f) No Remissions relate to Kindergarten.

(g) All Awards are periodically reviewed and may be varied upon the absolute discretion of the Trustees. You will see that in each Category we state the number of Awards currently available as at the time you receive this prospectus. Please be aware if more people apply for a particular Category than there are Awards available, the Trustees may allow more discretionary Awards to be made available to satisfy excess demand.

(h) Terms and Conditions apply to all Awards. Certain Awards have extra specific conditions attaching to them. Details are shown under each Award where this applies.

(i) The "average" child has an IQ of 90 to 110. Financial awards should not be granted, where IQ is found to be below 90. If it is found that IQ is below 90, the Award (regardless of type or category) would cease and any Award granted up until that time would be required to be repaid immediately in full.

(j) These Awards are normally only available to parents who are usually resident in the UK except where the Award specifically states otherwise (eg UN Staff). British Forces stationed abroad are counted as UK residents.

Early application to the Registrar, is recommended
