What is the cost of Christmas at your school?
With prices increasing and standards of living an ongoing concern for many families, many are worried about Christmas.
What can schools do to help disadvantaged pupils over the festive period?
Christmas can be a challenging time for many of us. Deciding what to buy people, organising festivities and the pressure to make Christmas magical for our own children. However, for families who are going to struggle to even heat their house this year, these concerns are the least of their worries. School is a safe space for many children who have challenging home lives. They know they will be fed and cared for during the school day. Once the term is over, school staff will be breathing a sigh of relief but some of our pupils will not be celebrating.
What are some of the issues and how can we support in school?
