Karen Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 We have just had our MDS form to complete from school and I have tried to find information on Gov.co.uk about the current contribution bands. I can't find anything and wondered if anyone has an up to date list or could provide a link, please? ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billyelliott Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I had a form with last years figures highlighted - saying that they were yet to be confirmed ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anon2 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I was going to say Royal always had a list on their website but they now have a handy little calculator to work out your contribution based on their school fees. Elmhurst have a 2012/2013 chart on website under funding for years 7 - 11. Over the years my dd had an MDS I don't think the bands varied much at all. Salaries didn't really increase as working in public sector and our contribution was much the same year on year. We just got caught out on the DaDA by being in the wrong year group.

Karen Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 Thank you for the replies - I agree the scales haven't changed much over the years, but I wanted to know what we are currently working with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon2 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I don't think I've ever seen one on the gov website just the schools that award them. Contact the school that gave you the MDS form and ask them about the bands. Elmhurst were happy to give us an idea of our contribution when dd first awarded a MDS but couldn't confirm until much later in the process as it is a lot of work for the school finance team to calculate all the bits and pieces.

Peanut68 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 For something that is government funded it all seems very unclear & ambiguous. So much for transparency of use of public funds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huddsballetmum Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 The MDS bands haven't been released yet. I usually get pre notification working in education and I haven't had anything for 2016-17. I'm waiting too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie4dancin Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Can anyone help? I'm filling in MDS form for CAT does anyone know when your child is no longer a dependent for funding purposes... My son is 18 living at home and is an apprentice starting his degree in September... Do I still put him on Part 8 of the form? Thanks c4d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks c4d Hi charlie4dancin, on the tax website an apprentice is classed as employed, therefore is no longer a dependent, but if he is doing a full-time degree, then he's classed as a dependent. Not sure how you work out if he's doing both. If the degree is part-time, then I would assume that he would no longer be classed as a dependent on the MDS form. Probably best to give MDS a call to double check. LTD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumof6 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 i would phone and check my eldest is 19 and is in higher education but doesnt work so is classed as dependant as he doesnt earn his own money 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 I declared my other daughter as a dependant when she was an apprentice (stating that she was an apprentice) and received the allowance for her. Probably no harm in trying! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
