Passport Applications

Staff are often asked to sign applications for passports on behalf of children.

This has become increasingly time consuming and may later involve resolving queries with the passport office.  Parents are asked to bear in mind that this is not an entitlement or part of a teacher's job; it is something teachers do in their own time if they feel it is appropriate.  

It's the teachers discretion if they wish to complete the application as the process does involve them disclosing personal information.

When signing the application, the teacher is confirming that they know the parent not the child, if the teacher has not personally known YOU for the required amount of time please do not ask for a signature.

A £10.00 contribution to the school is requested for each passport application, payment to be made via ParentPay.

Visa/Home Office/ HMRC/ Solicitor Letters

All letters required from any professional bodies including but not exclusive to those stated above asking for confirmation of a child's attendance at New Road Primary School will be charged at £20.00.

Evidence from the professional body would be required along with payment via ParentPay prior to us producing the letter.  The school office will require a minimum notice of 1 week to produce such letters.
