For the fourth time this year, DDs primary school has arranged a trip with 4 days notice (quite good comparatively) which requires drop off and pick up in a different location to school at a different time. This one is 9.30- 2.45 in a village 5 miles from school.
The accompanying letter makes it very clear that ONLY children who attend breakfast and after school club will be transported by school staff.
I can, of course, ask around other parents to help (it is not possible for DH or me to manage this drop off). The dc go to a childminder and she will not be able to do it as she has other children to look after.
So I will be able to solve the inmediate problem, and I understand that this is to keep costs down, enable the school to provide the diverse and interesting curriculum that they do, but would others find it difficult to? It always feels like the school expects parents (mothers) to be available at all times. Any meetings, plays etc are also in the school day and we just cannot manage them due to the nature of our own jobs.
I have another, more serious SEN issue to discuss with the headteacher and am worried about rocking the boat.
