Language and learning support

Discuss the child’s language background and any existing support plan before applying. Ask what help is available in lessons, how progress is reviewed and whether it carries an extra charge.

Campus and daily life
The Holt school occupies about 300 acres near the Norfolk coast and has a Dyson STEAM building. A new prep-school project is scheduled for 2027 and should not be treated as a current facility. Confirm the exact teaching location for the chosen year group. Check the daily journey, meals and activity timetable; a whole-school facilities list may not apply equally to every stage.

Fees and the first-year budget
The Michaelmas 2026 schedule separates full boarding, day pupils attached to a boarding house, and Arkell Sixth Form day pupils. Sixth Form boarding and boarding-house day fees carry an additional termly charge. Learning or language support is charged separately; families should also ask about any self-taught IB language costs.

Early Years funded-place fee conditions
The linked Early Years policy says funded entitlement carries no hourly top-up, and lists meals, snacks and consumables without a separate charge. Additional unfunded hours or agreed services remain chargeable. Its £216 VAT-inclusive registration fee is voluntary for children accessing only the funding entitlement. The policy provides itemised termly invoices; Nursery or Reception bills may be issued after funding and part-time attendance have been finalised.

Early Years deposit payment conditions to confirm
The general fee page says no acceptance deposit is required for Nursery or Reception. The separately linked Early Years funding policy says a place-securing deposit is charged, without stating an amount, and gives different return conditions for funding-only attendance and extra contracted hours. Confirm which policy and amount apply before paying; no universal Nursery or Reception deposit is assigned here.

Fee payment and notice conditions
Fees and charges are due by the first day of term. The school requests direct debit and states a 1.5% monthly surcharge for overdue amounts; the separate monthly School Fee Plan is subject to status and its own terms. Written notice of a full term is required for leaving or moving from boarding or flexi-boarding to day attendance, otherwise a term’s fees are due. Nursery attendance reductions also require term’s notice, with a charge for the reduction in days if notice is not given; Early Years Funding does not offset that charge in the ages 3–4 nursery.

Conditional boarding and sibling fee reductions
Forces families receiving CEA qualify for a 20% boarding-fee reduction, without sibling awards in those cases. For eligible families with three children at the school simultaneously, 10% is deducted from each child’s relevant fee; for four or more, the figure is 25%. The youngest must have started paying full Reception fees without Early Years Funding. A scholarship or bursary reduces the eligibility discount for that child; these awards should not be added mechanically.
