Financial Assistance
Please find below four local Charities covering the Harpenden, Wheathampstead and Redbourn areas who may be approached for financial assistance to contribute towards the costs of trips and uniform for families who meet their criteria.
Please contact the charities directly for assistance and email finance@kwschool.co.uk to inform us of any contributions the charity may have agreed to make.
Unfortunately we have not had any dealing with charities out of county but are keen to add to this area if any parent has been successful with a charity they would be prepared to recommend.
If your child is in receipt of free school meals please do inform us via finance@kwschool.co.uk as financial assistance may be provided towards trips / chromebook costs.
