Just curious as a local school which my friend's daughter attends is charging £54 a day (or £27 per half-day) for Y12 revision sessions over Easter. Is this normal? I don't know if they have discounts in place for free school meals etc - hopefully they do.
If teachers are working over the whole holidays I'm not surprised schools need to charge, but I guess I am surprised that the sessions are so extensive - every day full time rather than just a couple of freebie sessions covered by school budget.
The school does get very good results, and has the sort of catchment that is prepared to pay, and I expect the money just covers staff overtime rather than making a profit, but even so, it seems a bit intense. Whatever happened to independent revision? I think if I was a student there I would feel the need to be at every session or risk being at a disadvantage.
