  • I know what you mean about the letters from the school. With four kids at school, there is always something to be paid for!

    I have thought about taking the kids camping in may half-term. I am lucky in that the four kids actually get two weeks off in may and I looked at camping near us for four nights an it would cost us £65 for the whole lot of us on an electric pitch. Well to me that is nothing and some of my most relaxing times are when I am camping with the kids.

    I can't speak for other schools but at my school for parents feeling the pinch/financial hardship we let them pay in installments or just make a contribution if they can't afford the full amount.
    Speak to the office at your school and see do they have anything in place like that.
