The Cost of the School Day calendar aims to help schools identify possible cost barriers throughout the year, and think about some alternatives to make sure all children and young people can fully participate in education and all that going to school involves. The calendar is filled with tried and tested ideas and examples from schools across the UK looking to increase inclusion and reduce costs for families.
