Welford and Wickham Primary School
Lettings Policy
The letting of the school premises by the community is welcomed, subject to the following conditions:-
- Use of the premises for school functions will take priority over lettings.
- The Governing Body will set charges for lettings guided by these principles:-
- Lettings to the Welford and Wickham Friends Association will be free of charge.
- Lettings to bona fide community groups will be charged at cost, to cover caretaking, energy, wear & tear, administration.
- Where a letting is subsidised by the Youth and Community Service that Service will determine the proportion of the letting charge to be paid direct by the Hirer.
- Where the school is used as a polling station the relevant authority will be charged the actual additional costs incurred by the school.
- Lettings to all other hirers will be charged at cost plus a profit margin determined by the Governing Body.
- Income derived from lettings will be retained by the school and costs to the school of lettings will be met from this income.
- The school premises will not be let to individuals or organisations if there is reason to believe that the name of the school will be brought into disrepute.
- The school premises (will/will not) be let for functions where a Public Entertainment Licence is required.
- Decisions whether to permit lettings will be made by the Governing Body. If the Headteacher believes a letting should not be permitted he/she will report the reasons to the Governing Body.
- All persons hiring the school premises will be expected to conform to the relevant Health & Safety regulations.
- All hirers must carry sufficient Third Party Liability insurance to satisfy Berkshire County Council requirements. (Currently £2,000,000)
