So there was a letter from school about how the children are going to be Ice Skating at another near by school on Friday. They are to be dropped off at this other school at 8:45 and picked up from this other school at 15:15.
We live rurally and the school only has 2 classes in comprising of 25 children in total so it is very small. It has been partnered to the other larger school (the one which the DCs are expected to go to on Friday) a year or so ago. The head from the other school is now also the head to this school. They still remain different schools with different rules (such as the start and finishing times, uniforms is different too - although this seems to be slowly changing to the other school)
Now surely my job is to make sure my DCs get to their current school on time and to pick them up in time. If there is a trip somewhere else then is that not up to the school to transfer the children to the trip? They are often going to this other school for various reasons and they hire a bus. Or are the school within their rights to say that x day the children will all be going to this other school so parents have to take them there?
Its not as if they are having lessons as far as I can tell, but there is going to be a synthetic Ice Rink set up in the school hall. The school they go to is 100 yards away from our house. Luckily I am able to take them to this other school, but its not very convenient for me. If I was working we would have no chance unless I used a holiday day to do this.
