Sending a Child to Primary School in England Now Costs Almost £5,000 a Year

Sending one child to primary school in England costs nearly £5,000 a year, per Coram and Nationwide. After-school care alone is £2,636, up 42% in ten years. Add holiday care, clubs, uniforms, and trips. Half of UK parents feel stressed about September costs; one in four wait to buy things. Coram's Lydia Hodges says these costs affect work and family choices.
