Charging and Remission Statement

Introduction

All education during school hours is free. We do not charge for any activity undertaken as part of the National Curriculum.

This policy is monitored by the governing body, and will be reviewed annually or earlier if necessary.

Prohibition of Charges

The Governing Body recognises that the legislation prohibits charges for the following:

• education provided during school hours (including the supply of any materials, books, instruments or other equipment);

• education provided outside school hours if it is part of the National Curriculum, or part of a syllabus for a prescribed public examination that the pupil is being prepared for at the school, or part of religious education;

• tuition for pupils learning to play musical instruments if the tuition is required as an essential part of the National Curriculum.

• entry for a prescribed public examination, if the pupil has been prepared for it at the school;

• education provided on any trip that takes place during school hours;

• education provided on any trip that takes place outside school hours if it is part of the National Curriculum, or part of a syllabus for a prescribed public examination that the pupil is being prepared for at the school, or part of the schools basic curriculum for religious education;

• Supply teachers to cover for those teachers who are absent from school accompanying pupils on a residential trip;

• transporting registered pupils to or from the school premises, where the local education authority has a statutory obligation to provide transport;

• transporting registered pupils to other premises where the governing body or local education authority has arranged for pupils to be educated;

• transport provided in connection with an educational trip

Voluntary contributions

When organising school trips or visits to enrich the curriculum and the educational experience of the children, the school invites parents to contribute to the cost. All contributions are voluntary. If we do not receive sufficient voluntary contributions, we may have to cancel a trip. If a trip goes ahead, it may include children whose parents have not paid any contribution. We do not treat these children differently from any others.

If a parent wishes their child to take part in a school trip or event, but is unwilling or unable to make a voluntary contribution, we do allow the child to participate fully in the trip or activity.

The following is a list of additional activities, organised by the school, which require voluntary contributions from parents. These activities are known as ‘optional extras’

• visits to museums;

• sporting activities which require transport expenses;

• outdoor adventure activities;

• musical events.

Residential visits

If the school organises a residential visit in school time, or mainly in school time, which is to provide education directly related to the National Curriculum, we do not make any charge for the education element. However, parents are obliged to at least pay for the residential expenses of such trips, and we also ask parents to contribute to the full cost of the travel and activity expenses as these are beyond the scope of our main school budget.

A savings scheme will operate to allow parents to spread the cost of such trips over a longer period of time.

Music tuition

All children study music as part of the normal school curriculum. We do not charge for this. There is a charge for individual and group music tuition if this is not part of the National Curriculum

Remissions Policy

Those parents in receipt of one or more of the credits below may be offered assistance in paying for the trip or a longer period of instalments will be made available to enable their child to access the activity.

• Income Support (IS);

• Income Based Jobseekers Allowance (IBJSA);

• Support under part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999;

• Child Tax Credit, provided that Working Tax Credit is not also received and the family’s income (as assessed by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs) does not exceed £15,575 (Financial Year 2008/09);

• The guarantee element of State Pension Credit; and

• An income related employment and support allowance that was introduced on 27 October 2008

Pupil Premium

Sport Funding

Sport Premium Funding

What is PE & Sport Premium funding?

The PE & Sport Premium is additional government funding aimed at making additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and Sport. Primary schools receive funding each year to make additional and sustainable improvements to participation in extra-curricular sport. At Beecholme Primary School we plan to use the sport premium funding to drive standards and progress in PE Lessons

Schools receive PE and sport premium funding based on the number of pupils in Years 1- 6. Schools with 17 or more eligible pupils receive £16,000 and an additional payment of £10 per pupil.

How is the school planning to spend its PE & Sport Premium allocation?

Swimming and the National Curriculum

Percentage of 2021/2022 Year 6 cohort swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres?

60% of Year 6 cohort can swim at least 25 metres proficiently using a range of strokes. This is an increase from the start of the academic year where due to pool closures and Covid restrictions children had not been able to engage in swimming sessions.

What percentage of your current Year 6 cohort use a range of strokes effectively [for example, front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke]? 90%

What percentage of your current Year 6 cohort perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations? 60%

Schools can choose to use the Primary PE and Sport Premium to provide additional provision for swimming but this must be for activity over and above the national curriculum requirements. Have you used it in this way?

Yes, Beecholme will commit to intension sessions for pupils who cannot swim 25 meters. This will bring Beecholme in line with National legislation for all pupils to be competent swimmers by the end of KS2.
