Charging For School Activities
Since the enactment of the Education Reform Act 1988 the governors of Ousedale School have, following consultation, produced a full policy statement on charging regulations. This detailed document can be viewed using the link below.
Charging and Remissons Policy
While we have to operate within the regulations it is felt that activities and materials should continue to be available for our children so that they can enjoy a full range of educational opportunities. In some circumstances the school may request parents to pay an appropriate contribution on a voluntary basis. Under this arrangement no child may be excluded from an activity on the grounds that his/her parent is unwilling or unable to pay the voluntary contribution. However, parents should recognise that there will be some activities which it will be impossible to provide if sufficient numbers of voluntary contributions are not made.
