| The Education Reform Act 1988 states that, with
a few exceptions, no charges should be made for any activities during school
time. The Governing Body may, however, request voluntary contributions from
Parents. 
The Governors have considered the issue of
charging for various activities and parents will therefore be invited to
contribute to the costs involved. If insufficient payments are made it will be
necessary to cancel the activity.
Additionally the Governors reserve the right to
enforce charges for the following:
- board and lodging for all residential trips
both in and out of School time,
- musical instrument tuition during the school
day if provided at Parents' request,
- non-accidental damage to school property,
- breakages or loss of school equipment.
Voluntary contributions may be requested for
specific craft activities.
Charges may be remitted ( i.e. waived or reduced
as appropriate ) for those Parents who are in receipt of Income Support.
The Governing Body reserves the
right to alter the provisions of this Policy at any time. |
