Tuition fees by year group (per year / per term)
- The school does not publish a full, detailed tuition table by year group and per term in its public materials; published third‑party listings report annual day‑student fee ranges rather than a complete per‑year, per‑term schedule.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Tuition and other school fees are payable in advance and must be paid no later than the end of the first week of each term.

Specific prices for stationery packs are not published in the terms and conditions. - School meals: The school provides freshly prepared, home‑cooked meals daily; meal provision is described but individual meal prices or charging arrangements are not publicly listed. - Additional support and specialist provision: If a pupil requires additional tuition or placement in a smaller support group, this provision is chargeable to parents at the current private tuition rate (or at a reduced support‑group rate where applicable) and must be paid in advance. Other ancillary costs that may be charged include specialist assessments, optional trips, examination fees and ad‑hoc activity costs, where applicable; specific charges for these items are not published in the publicly available terms.
Refunds and cancellation
- Fees are non‑refundable for absence during term and are not reduced except in exceptional circumstances at the School's sole discretion. The refundable deposit is returned in June if written notice of withdrawal is given at least one full term in advance by the published deadlines; the deposit is forfeited if a place is accepted but not taken up. A surcharge is applied for late payment.
Fee payment options
- The School's public terms and quick‑link pages do not list specific payment methods (credit card, bank transfer, direct debit) in the published materials.

Social & emotional learning
Sunny View School prioritizes social and emotional development as part of its Learning and Support approach. It provides for students with SEN and socio-emotional concerns to access a broad and balanced curriculum. The SENCo coordinates provision with the Headteacher and SLT, and the School Counsellor offers confidential, non-judgmental support for students. Counselling for social, emotional and mental health difficulties lasts typically 6–12 weeks, with sessions of about 30 minutes. Parents and carers are valued partners and are kept informed and involved in strategies to support their child. Teaching is differentiated and there are targeted interventions (1:1, small groups) and inclusive participation in activities to ensure all students can engage in school life.

Students identified with SEN receive a Student Passport, an individual support plan developed with teachers, parents and students. The school provides differentiated learning, small-group and one-to-one interventions, and a range of practical supports (laptops, visual timetables, larger fonts, word banks) to help access the curriculum. There is a part-time School Counsellor and access to external educational psychologists; the team also provides speech and language, motor and social skills support. No student is excluded from activities because of SEN and all activities remain accessible through inclusive planning.
