The St Mary’s Music School (Aided Places) (Scotland) Regulations 2001

References to remission questions

8.—(1) For the purposes of this Part “remission questions” mean the questions whether or not the parents of a pupil are entitled to any remission of fees payable in respect of the pupil and the extent of such remission.

(2) Questions whether aid should be granted as hereinafter provided by way of remission of fees shall be determined by the school for the school year in which a pupil takes up an aided place and for each subsequent school year by reference to the relevant income as respects the pupil, whether or not the parents have been entitled to any aid as respects a previous school year; and such questions and aid are hereinafter referred to, respectively, as “aid questions” and “aid”.

(3) Where either–

(a) the pupil holds an aided place at the school for part only of the school year or leaves the school part way through the school year; or

(b) the number of children of the parents who hold aided places differs for different parts of the school year,

aid questions shall be determined by the school for that part, or separately for those parts, and the extent to which fees in respect of part of a school year are to be remitted shall be that proportion of the amount by which the fees for the whole second year would fall to be remitted which is the proportion which the fees for the part bear to the fees for the whole school year; and for the purposes of this paragraph the duration of the school year and such part shall be calculated with reference to the total number of school days occurring therein respectively.
