DS starts school tomorrow at a CoE school they have a school fund which supports with educational equipment, trips and they also need to find 10% of funding for building upkeep, redecoration, etc.
They have asked for a min voluntary donation of £15 per year which can then be translated into £150 by them (not sure how) and I obviously would give that but £5 3 times a year doesn't seem a lot so was thinking of paying more but don't want to look flash either.
Does anyone else have a similar arrangement and if so what do you pay? I know if I can afford to pay £50 a year (for example) and others only choose to pay the minimum then that is their decision and doesn't affect me but I think I would be a bit annoyed as well that I am making more of a contribution than others (not logical I know as others may not be able to afford more than the minimum).
Am about to go on mat leave too so possibly not the time to make a big commitment anyway.
