This may seem a little late to complain about the rise in fees for the bus to Groby Community College, however i am still raising concerns with County Hall. I was amazed when i found out that that not only had the fee for the assisted transport risen from £60 to a massive £180, ut was set to raise to a whopping £240 next year. In addition to this they believed they were being helpful by allowing parents to pay by 3 direct debits of £60. I am sure i am not the only person that found this sum a little hard to find, but to be informed that if the child was in receipt of Education Maintenance Allowance they should pay it their self, this is deplorable. Another problem i had with their new scheme was that you had to pay for the whole year whether or not it was required, if not you could request monies back following the cancellation of need. Has anyone else experienced this or have a comment to make?
Surely if a child is in receipt of EMA no matter what the entitlement, it is because of a recognised need.
