US EditionCost of sending children to state school increases by more than £500 in three years
- According to a report by the Child Poverty Action Group in collaboration with a social policy research organization, the expenses associated with sending a child to a state school in the UK have risen sharply by 2025.
- This rise follows research showing the annual cost for secondary school increased from about £1,755 in 2022 to £2,275 in 2025, outpacing inflation and earnings growth.
- Key cost drivers include higher food prices during the school day, increased technology needs, and expenses linked to subjects, textbooks, and stationery.
- Kate Anstey of CPAG highlighted that parents are finding it difficult to manage their regular household expenses while simultaneously having to pay for essential school supplies such as stationery and sports equipment.
- The charities urge that the government’s upcoming child poverty strategy must improve family living standards, while schools provide support and the government expands programmes like free breakfast clubs.
