# Damage to the School premises or theft of School Property

# DAMAGE TO THE SCHOOL PREMISES

In line with FCAT Charging and Remission Procedures, Mereside Primary Academy will charge parents for damage caused to school as follows:

- If **ACCIDENTAL** damage is caused - Phone call home.
- First time any **DELIBERATE** damage is caused - Phone call home + 50% of damage bill to be sent home with an agreed time to pay.
- If **DELIBERATE** damage is caused for a second time - Phone call home + 100% of damage bill to be sent home with an agreed time to pay.

If a pupil is persistently causing damage to property, the Headteacher will refer and discuss options with the Trust on ways for moving forward.

As always staff will work with pupils and make sure expectations are clear, we ask that this message is continued at home.
