CHARGING & REMISSION

The Education Reform Act, 1988 introduced new provisions dealing with school activities which came into force in 1989. 1. The governing body make a charge for all activities for which charging is permissible. 2. Voluntary contributions may be sought from time to time to support the school or school activities. Parents are asked to pay voluntary contributions towards the cost of educational activities during the year. Requested contributions may vary and will depend on the full costs of such visits. Such contributions are purely voluntary and requests will make it clear that:

There is no obligation to contribute No child is treated differently according to whether or not their parents have
contributed in response to the request.

3. In exceptional circumstances we hire rooms for educational purposes only at the following rates and usually during the school term and opening times. These rates are reviewed annually. CHARGES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

We aim to provide a safe and healthy working environment for everyone in the school. The governing body, the Head Teacher and Birmingham City Council have worked together to ensure that the school premises meet the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act as well as other relevant health and safety legislation codes of practice. These include the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations, 1992, and any relevant policies adopted by the European Commission. The Head Teacher and the Site Manager monitor the implementation of the schools Health & Safety policy, to assess whether it is being pursued effectively and safety standards are satisfactory. Risk assessments and reports are undertaken appropriately.
