Beaulieu Convent School would not reveal how many teachers had agreed to take redundancy but said that the savings it would make, coupled with a six per cent rise in fees – almost £100 a term – would allow the school to cope with an anticipated reduction in States funding.
The school, which has both a primary and secondary provision and is currently celebrating its 60th anniversary year, has also reduced the working hours for a number of staff and is not replacing others when they retire.
