Admissions
Charging and Remissions
Children are provided with all equipment needed for use at school. If items of school property are lost or damaged, parents will be asked to pay for replacement.
Parents will sometimes be asked to pay a voluntary financial contribution towards educational visits or events. No child will be refused participation in an educational activity because the parent is unable or unwilling to contribute. Regrettably activities will have to be cancelled if insufficient money is raised to cover costs.

The hours spent on teaching during a normal working week, include religious education but exclude the statutory daily acts of collective worship, registration, lunch and breaks.
In the interest of your child's safety we ask that they arrive on the premises no earlier than ten minutes before the start of the school day. A member of the teaching staff is on duty for ten minutes before the start of the school day and for ten minutes after the finish at 3.20 pm. Local Authority Insurance cover is commensurate with these times. On wet days children are allowed to come inside school before the bell is rung.
