Do you have to pay extra for them?
DC (6) attends local state LEA primary. I remember going to an assembly where they were introduced to a variety of instruments and encouraged to sign up to learning them.
This year, following a reminder text, I hastily asked the office if her name could be put down on the list to start learning.
Today I got a bill for over £80 (nearly £6 for a 10 minute group lesson), which I'm really surprised about. At no point have we received any notification that we'd have to pay for them. They're taken out during normal lesson times to do the instrument lesson and I'd (perhaps naively) assumed that it was a County teacher who did them - as it was when I was at school (I learned to play the sax for free).
I know this isn't aibu, but would it be seen as petty to bring this up with the school? We really can't afford it at the moment and if I'd known, we wouldn't have signed jet up for them.
