Financial Aid
PNS prioritises inclusivity and diversity. Families who feel it might be hard to meet the tuition costs are encouraged to apply for Financial Aid. This involves submitting some financial income and tax information so that the Director & Bookkeeper can make a decision on eligibility for Financial Aid and how much discount to award. All personal and financial details remain strictly confidential. We are happy to share more information about Financial Aid when you come for a tour.

Admission is open to children who will be at least 2 yrs 9 mths old by Sept 1st of their intake year – if places are available during the academic year, children may be admitted the month that they turn 2 yrs 9 mths.
