| -If you are currently on a shift pattern contract, we will require you to book in set hours and or days per week over the year to claim the funding. |
| -If you are on a term time contract, we cannot offer a stretched offer as we require a consistent attendance all year round for this. |
| -If you are splitting your funding with another setting, we will not be able to offer you a stretched offer. |
| -If you wish to change your attendance, we require a funding term notice to alter the funding claim. If you wish this to start sooner you will need to pay for this. |
| -If on a term time contract, a set day must be booked as a retainer day each week during the school holidays. However, these days can be swapped where possible. |
| -All days will be charged for even when absent, however you can swap this day within the same funding term. |
