I have a son in yr1 & he has come home today with a letter about his first ever school trip, it is to a place he would really enjoy.
The school are asking for £6 (presumably to cover coach hire & entrance). If enough people do not pay then the trip will be cancelled.
We are in the very fortunate position of being able to pay the £6 without it causing us any problems - in fact I could pay £10. FWIW £10 is still less than it would cost me to take my son to this place & pay for 1 adult & 1 child entrance.
I know that some children in the class are likely to be receiving PP which could be used for trips & I also know that in our school the PTA give each class some money to put towards trips.
This is NOT a stealth boast, I know I am in an incredibly fortunate position. If I were to overpay for this trip, would that make it more likely that the trip would go ahead? Who would I even approach about doing this?
So....AIBU to offer to overpay for a school trip?
