Here at Pine Rivers we offer stretched funded places which simply means we only offer full year places (i.e. no term time only). So the 38 weeks of funded hours is stretched over 52 weeks of the year. The government funding will automatically come off of your monthly invoice. We do not offer term time only places.
​
There is also a meals and consumables (M&C) charge payable of £20 per funded session to cover the costs involved that are not covered by the government.
