I work in the independent sector and we offer similar discounts for paying fees in advance.
I wanted to add the same note of caution that if the school closes you are likely to lose any advance payments. In my area two large independent schools have closed in the last year - Walden School and Alexanders, not far from you in Suffolk. We know of some international parents who lost a year's fees which is not a small amount of money to lose!Mortgage free wannabeMortgage (November 2010) £135,850Mortgage (November 2020) £4,7840 -
