Affordable Schools

Supporting our families is at the heart of everything we do, and we understand that the cost of day‑to‑day school life can sometimes feel overwhelming. Whether it’s school uniform, packed lunches, trips, clubs, or the little extras that add up over time, financial pressures can affect any family. No one should ever feel embarrassed or alone in asking for help. Our school community is built on kindness, dignity, and the belief that every child deserves the same opportunities to learn, grow, and take part in school life.

We want all families to know that confidential financial support and practical guidance are available whenever they are needed. If you are finding it difficult to meet the costs associated with your child’s education, please reach out. We can offer direct assistance in certain areas, help you access local or national schemes, and signpost you to organisations that specialise in supporting families. Our aim is to remove barriers so that every child can fully participate in school activities without worry.

You may be eligible for support even if you have not accessed help before. Circumstances change, and we recognise that challenges can arise unexpectedly. Our staff are here to listen without judgment and to work with you to find the right options for your family. All conversations are handled with complete discretion, and any support provided will never affect how your child is treated or included in school life.

If you would like to talk to someone, please email afford@uptonuponsevern.worcs.sch.uk. We are here to help, and together we can ensure that every child continues to thrive.
