About St Nicholas School

Charges for school activities

Following the Education Reform Act of 1988, the Governors can only request voluntary contributions for some very worthwhile activities, for example day visits, which cannot, realistically, be funded from the budget delegated to the school by the local authority. Such activities can only take place if sufficient funding is forthcoming. For residential visits the element of the cost related to accommodation and food is a charge and other expenses are met by voluntary contributions, as with day visits. The Governors’ policy states that no child should be prevented from taking part in any activity during normal school hours by reason of an inability or unwillingness of parents to make a financial contribution. The Governors will also make every effort to support a child’s participation in an activity where parents are undergoing temporary financial difficulties. Individual cases will need to be discussed in confidence with the Headteacher.

The full policy on charging and remissions is normally available in the document library and can also be inspected at the school.
