When arrangements are made for pupils to leave the school site to take part in activities elsewhere e.g. for an education visit, the child's parents will normally be given details of proposed arrangements in advance. You will be asked to sign a slip giving permission for your child to take part. All non-hazardous educational visits are covered by Hampshire's insurance policy, a copy of which is attached to this booklet.

When you are informed about a visit you may also be asked to make a contribution towards the cost. This contribution will be entirely voluntary and children are not excluded because parents decline, are unable or forget to contribute. However, trips out of school are expensive and cannot be sustained without your support although we see them as a vital part of the educational process.

If you wish to discuss any matter relating to a particular visit please contact the Head. Residential visits will involve a charge for board and lodging and a voluntary contribution towards transport and other expenses. The charge may be remitted for parents receiving Income Support or Family Credit at the discretion of the Governors and Headteacher.
