Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the St Mary’s Music School (Aided Places) Regulations 1989 (the principal Regulations) to uprate the qualifying income levels for the remission of fees and charges and making of grants under the aided places scheme and in certain other respects.

The level of income at or below which fees are to be wholly remitted is increased from £6,529 to £7,059 for boarders and from £8,203 to £8,871 for day pupils, with corresponding increases in the extent of remission where the relevant income exceeds these sums (regulations 3 and 4). The qualifying income levels for school travel grants and clothing grants are also uprated (regulations 5 and 6).

References to the relevant income tax legislation in the Appendix to Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations are updated so as to discount tax relief on premiums paid in respect of private medical insurance as deductions from total income (regulation 7).
