Should
a youngster be selected for tuition no fees will be charged if the parents are receiving
Family Credit or Income Support. Otherwise a fee of £48.00 per term will be applied. No
fees will be charged to any parents where a pupil is following a certificate course in
Music, for instance, Standard or Higher Grade. No application is necessary as parents will
be contacted by the school if the child is selected for tuition.
"The Authority insures against its legal liability for (a)
accidental personal injury, or (b) loss or damage to property of third parties. Parents
are advised that no insurance cover is maintained for circumstances in which Angus Council
does not have a legal liability. Parents may wish to consider their own insurance
arrangements."
"The School Pupil Records (Scotland) Regulations 1990" make provision
for granting access by parents and pupils to manually maintained records held on pupils.
Parents and pupils wishing to avail themselves of this service must submit their request
to the Head Teacher, who will ensure that the records can be accessed at a time of mutual
convenience.
A large
number of pupils take lunch in Monifieth High School each day. A cafeteria service is
available, providing hot meals, hot snacks and cold snacks. We are also very happy to
accommodate youngsters who bring a packed lunch to school.
For pupils attending the local school proposed by the Education Authority, the
Authority provides transport or pays travelling expenses where a child under the age of 8
would otherwise have to walk over two miles to school, or where a child of 8 or over would
have to walk more than three miles to school.
