Hi all,
My dd has just started at the nursery of a pre prep and there is a trip a day before school finishes for summer next week. It is an hour and a half a way and I would rather not sent her as she is new to the school and as doing a half summer term was more about settling her in, I'm not sure she needs to go at this stage especially as it's been spring upon me and my dd has no idea about this trip as their topic work has been about something completely different
I spoke to the nursery leader and she said we'd have to pay for the trip even if dd doesn't attend. I then spoke to the deputy head of prep who said it was compulsory part of the curriculum, I told her I'm not sure if it is as its on the last couple of days of the summer so I don't think there's any follow up work regarding this. It is a farm park trip. We have lovely local farms parks don't see why they have to go on a long coach trip.
Anyway I haven't signed a permission slip and nowhere does it say I have to pay. I have requested to see any policies about visits.
What are your views, can they force me to pay for a trip despite me not agreeing to it or signing a permission slip. I'm having a lost list of doubts with this school about the hidden compulsory charges. When I spoke the deputy principal she was almost rude telling me I had to pay as the school accounts for all parents paying which sounds crazy at nursery age. Just want to know what you think!
Thanks
