The Education Act (1996) contains provision relating to charges, which may or may not be made for activities in schools.
The Governing Body has decided that its policy will be to request voluntary contributions for non-residential visits, for residential visits for some pupils and activities taking place within school time. There will be no obligation to contribute and pupils will not be treated differently whether or not parents have contributed.
Parents will receive a letter explaining the nature of any proposed activity and its value in educational terms. It will indicate the contribution per pupil, which will be required to enable the activity to take place, and any subsidy provided by school fund. It will emphasise that no pupil will be omitted from the activity because parents are unwilling or unable to contribute, but it may make it equally clear that the activity may not take place if parents are reluctant to support it. The school must receive written parental permission before children are taken on a visit. Parents are therefore asked to return permission slips promptly. We occasionally experience problems with non-return, and do not like to exclude children from visits simply because the return of the slip has been an oversight.
