Kensington Primary School Prospectus

19 At Kensington we have an emphasis on walking to school. Staff and children alike are encouraged to walk to school for health and environmental reasons. We have a cycle shelter for people who wish to cycle to school. Cycling is taught and developed through our cycling proficiency classes that are funded by the local authority. Road safety, health, environmental and traffic issues are taught through a cross curricular approach throughout the school. All these are planned for in our School Travel Plan which is kept in our school office. The school will ask for voluntary contributions toward some trips and activities in school. However, this is only if there is a charge being made to the school. Charges may be made for extracurricular clubs after school hours, and for any residential activities outside school hours. A charge may be made for damage to school property or for lost books. Please see the Charging Policy on the school website. SCHOOL TRAVEL PLAN SCHOOL CHARGING POLICY Children will be given reading books on a weekly basis. It is essential that all children read at home daily for at least 15 minutes. In addition, children will receive homework. Please support your child’s learning by ensuring their homework is completed to a high standard and returned to the class teacher on time. HOMEWORK
