DD is starting state secondary in September.
We are not well off, I'm a single parent of three DC.
The school is very big on drama and performing arts, which DD loves.
Reading through the welcome pack today there is a performing arts school during school hours. Pupils attend during normal lesson hours.
Most of the pupils attend, it has lots of benefits apparently, extra ucas points being one and getting further ahead in the subject being another.
The problem is it is £300 a year...
I just feel it's giving pupils of wealthier families a distinct advantage in the subject. fair enough having a club after school, but this is during the school day.
