expects all adults to share this commitment

to ask for voluntary contributions towards the cost of coaches, entrance fees and
insurance for educational visits.
The school does not receive any income for educational visits. Therefore, should the
amount of money collected from voluntary contributions be significantly less than the
amount required to cover the cost of the educational visit, then the visit may be
cancelled.
COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE
Under the terms of the 1988 Education Reform Act, there is a statutory procedure
to deal with complaints by parents who feel that in relation to a school’s curriculum,
the L.E.A. or governing body is failing to discharge its duties. The arrangements are
not intended to deal with complaints about the actions of Headteachers or individual
teachers, but specifically the curriculum, including religious education and worship,
exemptions from National Curriculum and the provision of information and charging
policies. It is hoped that any matter of concern could be dealt with informally at the
school through the Headteacher or Governors before proceeding to formal
arrangements.
