Unfortunately it is not possible to pay for all these out of our school budget, so we kindly ask parents to make a voluntary contribution towards the costs.
We have calculated the overall cost of the whole year’s activities and resources, (not including school trips), to be £30 (£15 per term over 2 terms). Unfortunately if we do not receive enough voluntary contributions towards our Activity Fund for each year group, we will have to reassess the enrichment activities that we can offer.
School trips
Following feedback from parents, school trips are not covered by the Activity Fund, and we will collect trip payments nearer the trip date. You will receive a separate letter with information on the cost of your child’s class trip nearer the time. Please be aware that school trips can cost at least £20 per child when admission fees, transport and insurance costs are added up.
We therefore only ask for contributions to our Activity Fund for 2 terms and the class trip in 1 term.
