Why are they so extortinate? Really chuffed as DC got an offer to first choice indie - but the school bus fare adds another £450+ per term to already high fees - its not even that far away! Is this the going rate?
I suppose it depends where the school is. If it's in the back of beyond public transport might not be an option. Could anyone share lifts with you, or you pay a parent to take your child?
That does seem an awful lot. For only £105 a term a child (11-15 plus 16-18's in full time education with a photocard) can get unlimited travel (including evenings & weekends) on all the buses & trains in the West Midlands Met county - did wonders for my DS2's social life!
