Application Forms
VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Twice a year, mid-year and in December, we check the reports in order to monitor, evaluate and give advice on progress made. Your money is paid in two installments. The first payment is sent to the school in February so that you can pay your school fund and purchase uniform or stationery items. If your mid-year report meets our criteria, we send the rest of your money via the school.
