FAO: Early Years and Key Stage One (Years 1 and 2) Parents
Dear Parents,
I hope this message finds you and your families well.
I am writing further to my previous general parent updates with information relating specifically to our youngest BSB students. It has become clear over recent months that there are considerable challenges facing very young children when engaging with online learning. With that in mind, we propose the following refund policy relating to any school closure due to COVID-19 during the academic year 2020/21 for students in Early Years and Key Stage One (Year 1 and Year 2):
In the event schools close for all year groups due to Covid-19, for a minimum period of two consecutive weeks, we will:
- Offer families or in cases where their Company pays their child’s tuition fees, offer the Company, either:
- A credit for the next billing cycle; or
- For annual payers - a credit or refund
- For each week the school is closed (including the two consecutive weeks) and virtual online schooling is in place:
- 20% support payment for EYFS Tadpoles, Pre-Nursery, Nursery and Reception (applied to each week school is closed)
- 15% for Year 1 (applied to each week school is closed)
- 10% for Year 2 (applied to each week school is closed)
We hope that this will go some way to recognising the challenges that parents and our youngest students may face.
It is also worth mentioning that the period of Virtual School and Home Visits from 17 – 28 August is free of charge.
I look forward to welcoming everyone back to school and returning to our normal routine as soon as we can.
Kind regards,
John Brett

致幼儿园、1年级 及2年级的家长
亲爱的家长，您好！
希望您及家人一切安好。
基于以往的全校家长信，现特别向您致信有关学校低龄段的学生的信息。近几个月来，低龄的孩子在进行虚拟学校的学习时显然面临巨大的挑战。 考虑到这一点，我们提出以下针对2020/21学年幼儿园和KS1（1年级和2年级）的学生因新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情而停课的退费政策：
如果因新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情而导致幼儿园、1年级 或2年级关闭，且持续关闭时长大于（或等于）两周，我们将：
- 为家庭，或公司（若学费由公司缴纳）提供以下方案之一：
- 在下一次付款中抵减学费； 或者
- 为按年付款的家长提供抵减或退款
- 在学校关闭及开设虚拟学校期间，每周（含最初校园连续关闭的两周）：
- 给予幼儿园（EYFS）Tadpoles（小班），Nursery（中班）和Reception（大班） 学费退费20%的优惠政策（以校园关闭的每一周为单位计算）
- 给予1年级15%的优惠政策（以校园关闭的每一周为单位计算）
- 给予2年级10%的优惠政策（以校园关闭的每一周为单位计算)
我们希望这将有助于您的家庭应对辅导低龄学生的挑战和困难。
另外值得一提的是，8月17日至28日提供的虚拟学校服务和线上家访是免费的。
我非常期待迎接大家回到学校，并尽快恢复我们的日常教育教学活动。
谨以此致，
John Brett
校长
