Having a crappy week (see thread about friend letting me down) and it just keeps getting worse
DS's school are planning a residential trip to Shropshire next October for his year group.
DS very excited about trip so we complete the paperwork and pay the deposit as requested by the deadline. Paperwork went back about 2 weeks before deadline but due to a glitch with schools parent pay system we didn't pay deposit until the last day of the deadline.
Fast forward to today after being told that he was on the trip I receive a phone call from school telling me that they had messed up and had got the boy/girl ratio wrong and had one boy too many on the trip. Therefore DS will now be unable to go.
I was told that if he was a girl he could still have gone but they chose him not to go because We were last to pay.
Now they have known how many girls and boys are in that year group since reception.
If this was purely first come first serve I would understand but this clearly seems to be about his gender - he can't go because he's a boy.
Head teacher has basically said tough and DS is gutted
