CAR SEATS FOR SALE
We have a few booster seats (virtually unused) that we are offering for sale at £5 each. (We purchased them when the new car seat regulations came into force for transporting pupils to/from events, but have found they are not needed).
GRANT FOR PCs
In April, a new project is being launched called the ‘Home Access Project’, a Government initiative built on the understanding that pupils at both Primary and Secondary level can benefit from having access to a computer at home. The aims are: increased attainment of pupils; pupils engaged in formal and informal learning; increased parental engagement with schools/colleges; increased awareness of economic and social benefits of ICT access at home.
Those who cannot afford the equipment may be eligible for a grant. Eligible groups are low income families, who are in receipt of one of the following: Income Support; Income based Jobseekers Allowance; Child Tax Credit (NOT Working Tax Credit) and on a low income; Guaranteed element of state Pension Credit; Employment Support Allowance (Income Related); Free School Meals.
Look out for further information over the coming months.
