My dc just started in reception class. Got a letter about a voluntary donation for reception class fund for £1 a week to be sent in with child weekly or termly. How common is this? Do most parents pay? And will there be more things to pay for on top of this - non uniform days, raffle tickets, trips or school christmas play etc? Just wondering how much everything could cost overall for the year.
AIBU?

Baking is core curriculum

Reading this, would it be helpful for parents who want to give teachers gifts at xmas or end of year to therefore gift stuff like a stationery or crafts supplies hamper? Seems to me so many are spending their own salaries on supplies and that a hamper like that or a gift cert would be much better than chocs, a mug, wine, smellies or some random artwork/picture/whatever bought from a collection
