DS wants to go on a school trip.
It was 390 quid. He filled in the form for a provisional place (based on behaviour etc)
It all has to be paid by December.
I was told on here to ask about pupil premium being applied as DS is on free school meals.
I emailed and never received a reply. Emailed again. Was still waiting.
DS has just come home all happy as he has 'got a place'
Only they have upped the price by almost a quarter :( because of some changes.
He also has to take spending money and food money as its half board only.
I feel really shit.
I just tried to email the person organising it, but the email bounced back, and now school is closed.
I just feel like I shouldn't have let DS fill out the provisional form before I found out about the pupil premium.
Now the price is almost 500. I have to get passport. Spends. Food money...
I just can't do it all before Xmas. He has 3 siblings and 2 of them have December birthdays
I feel like I've got his hopes up and now I'm going to have to crush them.
I'm so mad at myself.
