THE cost of sending children to state school in Britain has increased by more than £500 in three years, research suggested today.
A report by Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) and the Centre for Research in Social Policy (CRSP) found that it costs around £2,275 a year to send a child to secondary school, while the cost for primary school exceeds £1,000.
Costs have soared since 2022, when the charity conducted similar research which found that annual costs were £1,755 for secondary schoolers and nearly £865 for primary school students.
