No Smoking There is a no smoking policy in school and on the school grounds, this includes
the use of e-cigarettes
Dogs (except Guide Dogs) For safety and hygiene reasons dogs are not allowed anywhere
on the school premises.
Charges The Governing Body has agreed to the following policy for covering the costs of
any visit or activities. This policy is in response to the Education Reform Act 1989.
Parents will be charged for any loss or damage to school property at a level which meets
the cost of replacement. Parents will be charged for any visit or activity which takes
place mainly or totally outside school hours and which does not relate to the child's
lessons. For all other activities and visits where costs are incurred by the school, parents
are likely to be asked to make a voluntary contribution. A contribution may be requested
for:

o visits/activities which take place wholly or mainly in school hours or which are
related to the child's lessons;

o the cost of ingredients or materials used in practical lessons.
All contributions are voluntary. Parents will always be informed by letter when a visit or
activity incurring costs is planned. The letter will indicate the amount requested by the
school. Parents who are unable to contribute to the cost of an activity are asked to
contact the Headteacher or Deputy Headteacher to discuss the matter in confidence.
Complaints Procedure In the first instance, any concerns parents/carers have should be
discussed with the class teacher and if not, resolved with the Phase Leader. If the matter
is still not addressed concerns should be taken to the Headteacher. If the concern is not
resolved, a formal complaint (in writing) can be made to the Chair of Governors. This is
the first stage of the complaint procedure. A copy of this is available on the school
website or a paper copy, upon request from the School Office.
