Theatre Trips
A huge thank you to those parents who have kindly agreed to make, or have already made, a voluntary payment for our provisionally booked theatre trips.
 
Just a reminder, if you consent to your child attending the trip and you agree to pay amount requested, please click and respond to this email and complete the payments which have been loaded on parent pay by no later than Monday 4th November.
 
We will then confirm with parents if we have enough donations for the trip to go ahead.
Whilst these payments are voluntary, parents should be aware that due to the school budget, this trip will only go ahead if we receive enough payments to cover the cost of the trip. We thank you for your support in helping us to ensure we can keep our curriculum as hands on and exciting as possible.

Reminders…
 
Charging Policy 
As part of our reviews as a governing body, we have reflected on how charges are made to parents and wanted to provide some clarity around how and when charges are applied to parent pay accounts and the expectations of when payments for these should be made.
We hope this is useful for parents:
 
School Lunches
These are applied to parent pay accounts on a daily basis so parents can pay these weekly or monthly.
Accounts should be settled in full on the last day of the month in which they were taken.
 
Wrap Around Care
These are applied to parent pay accounts on a daily basis so parents can pay these weekly or monthly.
Accounts should be settled in full on the last day of the month in which they were taken.
 
Enrichment Clubs
Mondays - Guitar/Rock Club
Tuesdays - Netball & Art club
Wednesdays - Kidslingo at lunch time & Gardening club on specific dates
Thursdays - Football
