Child Poverty Action Group have found that going to school in the UK costs families of primary school children at least £864.87 a year, or £18.69 a week before childcare costs are accounted for. For families of secondary school children, this increases to £1,755.97 a year, £39.01 a week. How can parents in London be best supported with these additional costs at the start of this school year during the continuing cost of living crisis?
