Pocket Money Again....Sorry!!

Hi
Just need some advice if possible please.
DD is starting secondary school this September and has asked for an increase in pocket money. She currently recieves £2.50pw, and isnt expected to pay for anything-its just her money IYSWIM. She keeps her room tidy, does her homework and occasionally empties the DW. DD used to do jobs to gain her pocket money, but over the past 6 months, she has had extra HW studying for her 11+ and now her SATS.
We have negotiated:rolleyes: an amount of £30pcm, which she will be expected to buy her pens etc for school, cinema and any mobile top ups if needed. She has also said that she will contribute towards any clothing she likes etc.
We are looking for an account which can be run with a card or cashpoint so she can spend the money as she sees fit, and hopefully this will make her more independant and savvy with money.
Do you guys think £30pcm is a reasonable amount of pocket money for her?
Any help appreciated.

To repeat what others have said, requires education, to challenge it,
requires brains!
