How do you cope with additional school costs?

I think I'd be very lucky with school. My daughter, my youngest daughter, is the only one left at school now. The other two have gone off to university and my youngest, H, she goes to a special needs school. And we're very lucky that most of the trips, if they do go anywhere, are fully funded, so we don't have extra the costs as such. So we're very lucky there. But not all parents are in that boat. But there is a discretionary bursary that school can use if people are on a low income, which I have used before, where they will subsidise either all or part of the school trip, which I have done years ago. It's just got to fully apply sometimes and ask for the assistance.
