Firstly we are a normal school, not private and we have a higher than national average amount of parents on a low wage/ benefits. We are in a deprived area.
There is a whole week of fundraising. I have 2 children in school and so far we have been asked to
Bring in cakes (DD1 wants to be a baker so won't allow me to take in bought cakes so I made 2 dozen cupcakes)
Each child then has to pay £1 for ONE cupcake (a few years ago it was 20p!)
DD is doing a sponsored run. And the 'suggested donation' per sponsor is £1.
DD2 has a disco which is £5(!!!) per child.
There are then raffle takes sold every week for 20p each which kids are encouraged to buy
A fashion show which is again £1 per child to attend.
Then a donation box has also been sent home to fill up with change.
AIBU in thinking this is too much?
