School trip

Has anyone else’s school cut back massively on the end of year trips? My son is in year 6 and for the end of year trip they are going to the local park, a park we visit most weekends and they’ve been to several times on school trips. The year before that my other son went to the beach with the school as the end of year trip and 2 years before that my daughter was taken to a theme park. I guess it’s a money issue. Just wondering what other schools doing for the year 6 children?

Dd17 had a wonderful y6 as her school was in special measures and it was forced to close. The school had lots of money to get rid of so all trips etc were free - they went to Harry Potter, Thorpe Park, Globe theatre and had events at the school.

No they do one end of year too, perhaps my school is different to yours? They did it twice on the second to last day of school, they did something for the SATS again that was the local park.

My youngest dd is y12 now, so my memory is a bit rusty. There could have been two trips but I think ds had a big trip just after SATs eg Thorpe Park and then went to Wicksteed Park at the end of the year (much cheaper).
