I have just moved DS to an independent school, due to problems he was having at his old state secondary.
One of the things I am genuinely shocked at is how much cheaper the school trips are in the independent school. For example, a 3-day trip to Germany at his old school was going to cost £800. The trip to Paris at the new independent school will be £600 for 6 days. Both trips involved flights and a stay at 2 star hotel accommodation.
I am wondering now why school trips in state schools are so expensive, or is it just that our experiences aren't typical of the norm?
