If parents cannot pay, the board may remit or cover fees through a public school, up to six months, with a fee cap of two pence weekly in infant schools or three pence in other schools. Morley urged removing denominational obligations, arguing for Bible teaching and nonsectarian aims to avoid secularism and reduce new school construction.
