Voluntary Contributions

As no charges can be made for educational activities that take place in school hours, parents will be invited to make a voluntary contribution towards the cost of such ‘extra’ activities such as school visits or visiting groups.

If the costs of the proposed activity are not covered by voluntary contributions it will be cancelled. Charges may be made for activities that take place outside the school day.

If there is family hardship and it is not possible to contribute to an activity, parents should contact the Headteacher.

We frequently organise visits to support the curriculum for which there can be no compulsory charge.  All children can take part in these visits.  However it is necessary to finance these enterprises and a 'voluntary contribution' is requested from the parents.  If the income generated is insufficient the visit may be cancelled.  For security reasons it is preferable that contributions be made by cheque (payable to 'Holy Trinity School').

It should be in a secure envelope clearly marked with the pupil's name, class and purpose of the money.  This is handed to the class teacher by the pupil at morning registration.
