Re: September 2015

Hi everyone my dd is in 1st year at Laine there are 24 boys in the year most but not all have funding - some Dadas have already been given and a few Betty Laine Scholarships which mainly seem to go to boys/associates or Foundation students going onto Diploma. As the income boundaries have increased ...

Re: tax credits/child benefit
