    OP please confirm. If that's the case, then consider you have a little longer for the latter years' school fees. However  I assume you'd want to make sure you stay some years ahead and not cut it too fine, as it would be quite chaotic to change schools again if the money runs out. 
    That is spot on, I certainly do not want to think of her having to leave if the funding is not available. She has a lovely personality which I know will flourish in this particular school. I cannot see her particular needs being addressed in a situation where class sizes might be 30 plus. 

    I have a plan in mind which should cover the full funding by the time she reaches the age of 12. Thanks everyone for the inputs, they have been very helpful.
