School Trips

If you are really curious to see the actual break down of costings I would approach the school and ask if I were you, just to set your mind at rest.

ADMISSIONS? :eek: the only admission to that museum is for the exhibition, i doubt that they would have gone to see any of those, not for that price anyway

No, I don't think there was any admission fee in this particular instance.

The £9.50 we all paid must have just been for the coach.

As Willow said, once you take the drivers wages, fuel etc into consideration it doesn't seem such a ludicrous amount.

I am confident that the school does not profit.
 
i'm not saying the school does profit, but if you have say 30 pupils thats £285 for the coach, just to get to Manchester

oh my god i'm trashing my own thread here
 
see you know more about the coach side willow with Busman working on the coaches, i am planning on going to France and Folkestone(sp?) for two night for half that price on a coach lol well its £99 each for me and Reece

There must be money available for some trips as when my train was stopped at Lancaster this morning there was approx 20 kids with small suit cases ready to go somewhere with their school. What kind of school I dont know possibly a private one.
 
when ivwas vice chair of the PTA at Reece's school we raised money that was supposed to go to things like this, it never did, it ended up paying for a new school sweatshirt for the kids
 
My son went to townley hall with their school.....WOW!!

HE also said the cost of the coach was £100!:eek:...how much is it on a bus to burnley from ossy?

I remember each kid had to pay £6.+, but the school did say that a child would not be left out if ya cant afford to pay...BUT if they didnt have sufficent funds then they would have to cancel!
 
Just asked my friend and she says that at ty's school they only have trips in the juniors cos it is a church funded school and they cant afford to take the infants..... extra staff etc (rubbish excuse imo)

saying that they do seem to have a lot of visitors....... last week they had a martial arts display thingy.....(fit blokes in latex :) )

By the time you have caught 3 buses from ossy to Burnley you are talking at least £1.50 per child. Times that by 50 and it's £75. Thats nearly as much as paying for the priveledge of a door to door service the private hire companies are providing, and probably takes half the time too :)

don't forget as well unless the coach firm is local to the venue you are paying for the drivers waiting time for the duration of the trip

:D But there'll be more people than just you and Reece won't there? Let's say it's a £54 seater and all the seats are full - that would come to £5,346! :D
 
.....And....a kid is usually sick on a seat which involves special cleaning afterwards
as well as cleaning up the toffee papers,crisp bags and spilt pop:rolleyes:
 
Kelsey's secondary school are rewarding the kids who have excelled in English with a trip to ten pin bowling at Pilsworth, not costing a thing, she can take a lunch or take money for a stop off at McDonalds. I reckon that's a good reward and a great incentive for the others to try harder next year, 22 of them have been chosen out of the year.
