Educational Visits
The educational value of all proposed activities and visits and the health and safety of our children is carefully considered by staff. As part of the broad curriculum we offer at Brookside, a varied programme of visits to places of interest is arranged, as well as visits from theatre and music groups to school.
The school’s policy for Charges and Remission meets the requirements of the Education Reform Act 1988 and reflects the high standard of learning experiences which we provide for the children of Brookside Primary School. In order to fund these activities parents are asked to make a voluntary contribution towards the cost of the activity. Each visit/activity will only take place if sufficient voluntary contributions are received to enable us to fund it.
We aim at keeping costs down and the BFG subsidises most events. Parents who are in receipt of Family Credit or Income Support are asked to contact the Headteacher so that arrangements can be made to fund the activity for their children. Similarly, other parents for whom payment would be a difficulty should contact the Headteacher. Parents are assured that this is entirely confidential.
