This policy is intended to maintain a fair and coherent system of charges and remissions within the constraints of the school budget.

The purpose of the policy is to ensure that there is clarity over those items which the school will provide free of charge and for those items where there may be a charge.

The Governing Body recognises the valuable contribution that the wide range of additional activities, including clubs, practical activities, visits and residential experiences can make towards pupils’ personal and social education. The Governing Body aims to promote and provide such activities both as part of a broad and balanced curriculum for the pupils of the school and as additional optional activities.
