Holy Trinity Primary School Prospectus 2017

Governing Board Charging and Remissions Policy
A Charging Policy for school activities has been determined by the School’s
Governing Body (in accordance with the Education Reform Act 1988).
1. Education must be free from charge if it takes place during the school day.
2. School sessions are as follows:
8:50 am to 12:00 noon
1:00 pm to 3:15 pm
3. It has been the practice of this school to provide educational visits as part of our programme of
curriculum enrichment. As a school, we cannot pay for all children to go on school visits from our
budget. We would hope that in the interests of your child’s education, you would wish these visits
to continue and would therefore be willing to make a voluntary contribution. Consequently, any
educational visits will be funded from voluntary contributions.
4. There will be no legal obligation to contribute.
5. Pupils will not be excluded from an activity whether their parent has made a contribution or not.
6. If an activity cannot be funded from voluntary contributions, it will be made clear that the visit
can not take place and any monies donated will be returned.
7. We hope to continue our present policy of not charging for consumable materials used in Art and
Craft, in cookery and in Design and Technology, but the Governors reserve the right to review the
situation should it become necessary.
8. Parents will be requested to re-reimburse the school for damage intentionally caused to school
equipment and property by identifiable individuals.
9. Pupils will be charged a fee for attending after school clubs and activities.
