A school has come under fire after sending a message about the price of a school trip which parents say “shamed” struggling families.
Ash Green School in Coventry has been criticised after it told Year 10 pupils complaining about trip costs: "Don't expect everything to be given to you in life."
One parent branded the message about an end-of-year visit to Drayton Manor Resort Theme Park "unacceptable".
The message said: "Any pupil who complains about the price, the answer is simple, you don't need to go on the trip. You have had so much given to you, don't expect everything to be given to you in life."
The school has since apologised about the tone of the message, saying it "in no way reflects our values".
One parent said the message "clearly shames the children and their parents struggling the most during the cost of living crisis".
