What do we 'charge' for?
Meals
All children in:
Year R
Year 1
Year 2
automatically receive free school meals, regardless of personal circumstance or income.
Children in:
Year 3
Year 4
Year 5
Year 6
can purchase a school meal. These cost £2 or £3 and are ordered through Arbor.
Trips
We ask for £45 from every family, to help us cover the costs for trips, visitors and events that school are unable to fully cover. These are voluntary contributions, however we are clear that without these contributions many activities aren't likely to go ahead.
This can be paid for in one amount in September, or in instalments.
This helps you to budget, and us to plan, knowing the amount each class has to spend.
Families who are entitled to free school meals can have this amount deducted from the £100 per pupil the school provides each year.
Milk
All children receive free milk until their 5th Birthday.
You can choose to pay for milk after their 5th Birthday by speaking with the office who will be able to provide you with the details.
If your child receives free meals due to your personal financial circumstance, they may also have milk. We ask that you contact the office to confirm this to avoid any waste.
Clubs
We try our best to source internal and external club providers and promise that there will always be free clubs on offer so that all children can attend.
Where there are charges for clubs, these are usually minimal and/or heavily subsidised by the school.
Costs vary.
