ofsted registration fee question..

[tara4now]

if i pay my registration fee this month, does it cover 2008/2009 or 2007/2008? i thought i paid for a year in advance but they just told me that its for the year 07/08.

anyone? i really cant be bothered to ring ofsted again!

Well I assumed it was in advance given that I have only been registered just over a year and have paid twice!

thats what i thought! i paid as soon as i registered then yearly after that. i thought he was wrong.

The first time you registered, you paid, then got sent your certificate. Therefore it is for each upcoming year. So paying in May 2008, covers May 2008 to April 2009.
That at least is my understanding.

thats what i thought. thank god its my last week minding and i dont have to deal with ofsted anymore. he said if i didnt pay my reg fee now(which is for 07/08) then i'd keep getting letters from them. ive called them, written to them(they say they never received my letter). im not paying it for last year because ive already paid. idiot.
