Mijas Costa 26th of April 2021

Dear Parents,

I have some good news for you as you will see below.

I wrote to you last summer to explain the changes that were taking place in the school and I invited you to contact me if you so wished. As a result, a number of parents emailed me about a variety of topics, however the most frequently expressed concern was that our plans for improvement would mean an extra increase in the fees.

As a not-for-profit school our commitment is to provide a quality British education with strong Christian values at the best price we can. With a 0% increase in fees and significantly better discounts for siblings –from the third child– for September 2021, I believe that we are showing ourselves to be sincere in that aim.

Now, we wish to take that commitment a step further by ensuring that no pupil of any age will have to leave the school if they suffer the unexpected loss of a parent. In line with the biblical instruction to “look after orphans and widows in their distress” (James 1:27), we will be contacting you before the new school year in September 2021 to invite you to register your family for a grant, for the rest of their school career in the case of the loss of a parent breadwinner. This initiative will be a gift from the school to our families so that children do not have a tragic loss compounded by a change of school.

I will send you more details in due course, but in the meantime I wish to thank you all for your trust in the school and to reassure you of our commitment to continue to improve the education provided by the Ark Christian School.

Yours sincerely,
