AFFILIATION FEES FOR 2025/26
Happily the Passport Committee have agreed that the Passport Affiliation Fees for this academic year will remain unchanged at £750 for Primary and Junior schools and £250 for Infant and Small schools. The fee for non-affiliated schools will be £50 per event. As you know Thanet Passport is a non-profit making organisation, run by schools for schools, and the annual Affiliation Fee means that we will continue to be self-sufficient.

It still represents incredible value for money, particularly as we now offer more events than ever before, as well as CPD opportunities, networking meetings and other benefits such as reduced gym memberships.
Many other districts pay profit making firms far more for much less in comparison, and of course it remains eligible expenditure from the School Sports Premium, not to mention ticking that box for Ofsted. I will let you know when invoices are on their way so that you can alert your finance managers.

 

Thanks
