Do private schools offer a siblings discount?

[beforesunrise]

I appreciate this would vary from school to school, but I wonder if at least some do, or is it a completely daft question to ask when going on visits/tours? Am looking at schools for dd1, but as I have a dd2 only 2 years younger it is quite relevant for us.

thanks!

yes some do so ask

You would be lucky to get 5% out of them for a sibling discount. You can also get discounts sometimes for being a vicar, being a teacher at the school yourself (up to 50% a lot of the time), being in the Forces and things like that. It varies from school to school.

Try this website from the Independent Schools' Council, which will help you search for discounts, bursaries and scholarships in your local area:

You can also get free personalised advice from this page. It is very good, specific advice and the people bend over backwards to be informative:

Some do, some don't.

My sons' school doesn't offer a discount, but my daughters' school does - 10% for the second child, 20% for the third.

Our does - 5% for siblings. I think there are also staff discounts, but no discounts for vicars or servicepeople!

My childrens prep school offers 10% reduction for the second child.

About 5% discount for second child at DD's prep school

Ours does - for the third child...

A lot of independent schools are now having to withdraw their sibling discounts due to the charitable status pressure from the government. It is worth asking thou.

thanks for all your answers, i will ask!
