Poorer children and parents shamed by school for not being able to afford Drayton Manor trip

Children whose parents could not afford to send them on a school trip were told by teachers, “don’t expect everything to be given to you in life.”

Furious parents hit out at Ash Green School in Coventry after teens in Year 10 were sent the message ahead of an end-of-year-trip to Drayton Manor theme park in Staffordshire.

It read: “Any pupil who complains about the price, the answer is simple, you don’t need to go on the trip. You have had so much given to you, don’t expect everything to be given to you in life.”
