Securing Funding
Paying for a place at Treloar's
Treloar's is a non-maintained special school. Our fees vary according to the level of support and specialist equipment a young person needs for their education, or to take part in other activities.
The local authority (LA) generally pays our fees, sometimes with support from the Children’s Services’ social care department. If your child has significant medical needs, the LA may also involve the Primary Care Trust (PCT). A small number of students are independently funded, including some from overseas – usually paid for through a trust fund or legal settlement.
If you live in the UK, your local authority is responsible for your child's education. If you are interested in taking up a place offered by Treloar’s, contact your LA Children’s Services Placement Officer to discuss the matter with them.
Sometimes your LA may wish to share the cost of a place with the local PCT, or they may offer your child a place at another school instead. Please keep Treloar's informed about these developments. Unfortunately we can’t guarantee your place until funding is confirmed.
“The School provides excellent opportunities, education, and training for independence – as well as very good value for money.” Ofsted inspection 2004
