Hi all
Like many of you I have a DS about to start sixth form this week. He's staying at the state school he has attended since year 7.
I was shocked to discover at the weekend that I have to buy what appears to be all the text books that DS will need during his two years of study. Parents have been directed to a book list for each subject. All compulsory books must be purchased before the start of term with other books "highly recommended".
I haven't added up the full cost of this yet, but can see already that just the compulsory books will cost near enough £100, with some of the "highly recommended" costing £40 each.
Is everyone else facing the same costs? I'm used to buying the odd book lower down the school (eg for annotating purposes on English lit set texts) but this is a whole different board game
