Excursions and Visits
Visits are made to various places of interest as an integral part of the students’ studies in school. Some are within walking distance, while others are further afield.
In addition, a number of individuals and organisations visit the Fulbrook. Students enjoy these visits enormously, but it must be understood that complete co-operation and high standards of behaviour are expected at all times in the interest of the safety and good of all concerned.
The school will make every attempt to keep costs to a minimum. For parents in receipt of income support or family credit they may not, in the case of external extended visits, be charged for board and lodging expenses. The Education Act of 1988 states that education which takes place during school hours should be free of charge.
Whilst there is no obligation to contribute, we are sure that parents appreciate that if the school did not request for and receive voluntary contributions to cover the cost of visits, it would not be possible for them to take place.
Students who are eligible for Pupil Premium will be offered support towards the cost of additional activities and visits.
