Maintenance Fund As we are a Voluntary Aided School, the Local Authority does not fund the upkeep of, or the insurance of the school buildings as they belong to the Church of England. The school has to raise these funds in order to make our contribution to the LDBS maintenance fund.This year, the Governors are requesting a payment of £36 per pupil. Although this is a voluntary contribution, without your payments more of the school’s budget would have to be used to finance the maintenance fund rather being spent on resources for the children.Payment must be made via ParentPay.

Parent Pay All parents are to make payments via Parent Pay for: School dinners Maintenance

School trips are vital to your child’s learning and often provide opportunities to experience a topic in ways that are not possible in the classroom. All payments for trips should be paid via Parent Pay. Although we request a voluntary contribution if all payments are not made then the trip will not be able to go ahead.

Parents are actively encouraged to attend school trips. Please see your child’s class teacher if you would like to attend.
