A shocked mum has slammed her son's school over the "utterly ridiculous" price of a trip abroad.
Emma Mellor was stunned when she realised the three-night trip to Krakow, being offered by her 11-year-old's school, would cost a staggering £799. The parent, 40, said she'd rather spend the money on a holiday for her family-of-six.
"I was shocked when I saw that it was £800 for three nights," recalled Emma, from Shrewsbury, Shropshire. "For this sort of money, we could go on a nice family holiday in a caravan for five days or we could splash out and go on a weekend away, all six of us, to Centre Parcs," she added.
