The school is required to establish a policy of Charging and Remissions of any Charges.
Where activities take place in school session time parents will be invited to make voluntary contributions towards the cost of the activity on a pro-rata basis but a pupil will not be debarred from taking part in the activity because his/her parents cannot or will not contribute. However, if insufficient voluntary contributions are forthcoming it may be necessary to cancel the activity.
Where activities take place outside school session times, charges will be levied as appropriate.
Any application for a full or partial remission of charges will be considered by the Headteacher, in consultation with the Chair of Governors.
Appropriate charges may be made for cookery activities and craft materials.
Parents will be invited to make a contribution to meet the cost of damages or breakages where this is a result of their child's deliberate action. This will include the cost of damaged, defaced or lost reading and/or library books.
