Charging & Remissions Policy
Charging Policy
By law, no school can make a charge for:
- education wholly or mainly within school hours materials and ingredients for things made
- in school which pupils or parents do not want to keep
- visits in or outside school hours, which are necessary for an examination.
Charges may be made for the following:
- individual music tuition which is not part of the syllabus for an examination
- certain excursions where a third party is involved
- board and lodging where a school activity involves a residential element
- the exact cost of "optional extras" i.e. things not connected directly with the National Curriculum.
The Governors have decided that in general, there will be no compulsory charge for school visits within the school day, therefore we invite and greatly appreciate voluntary contributions to these activities. No child will be excluded from activities because of lack of contribution.
