Voluntary Contributions: Events and Educational Visits

When organising events or visits which enrich the curriculum and educational experiences of the children, the school invites parents to contribute to the cost. All contributions are voluntary, however, if we do not receive sufficient voluntary contributions to cover the cost of the trip or event, it may have to be cancelled.

Children will not be excluded from any class or school events or visits if the parents are not able to contribute. 

The following are examples of additional activities organised by the school, which required voluntary contributions from parents:

• Reception/Year 1 visit to the New Forest Wildlife Park 
• Year 5/6 visit to Warner Brothers Studios
• Whole School visit to the Life Education Centre
• Whole School visit to Foxlease Activity Centre 
• Whole School visit to Salisbury Playhouse
• Year 1/2 visit to Bournemouth Oceanarium 
• Year 3/4 visit to Stonehenge

Residential Visit

Each year the school organises a 2-night residential visit for Year 5 and Year 6 to either Braeside or Tile Barn.  We make a charge for board and lodging for this trip. Parents who are in receipt of Income Support will be exempt from such payment.

Music Tuition

All children study music as part of the National Curriculum and this is free of charge. 

Individual or group instrument tuition is provided by peripatetic music teachers, who charge for these lessons.  Parents who are in receipt of Income Support may be exempt from such payment.

Extra-Curricular Clubs led by External Providers

The school hosts  range of extra-curricular clubs before and after school. The providers request payment for these clubs at the beginning of each term.  Parents who are in receipt of Income Support may be exempt from such payment.
