School trips are becoming increasingly unaffordable for a lot of parents.

School trips are fast becoming a luxury, with new research suggesting two-thirds (64%) of parents have been unable to pay for their child to attend an expensive excursion in recent years.

A poll of 2,000 parents of school-aged children, by Hyundai, also found local days out – such as day visits to museums and theme parks – are now unaffordable for 16% of families.

On average, school trips cost parents about £203 per child each year, said Hyundai – but for some, the cost will be far higher.

One parent shared on X how their school had planned a four-day excursion to Iceland for pupils, with an eye-watering cost of £1,280.

Another school trip letter arrives - this time to Iceland. For £1280. Do schools have any concept of the cost of living crisis that has engulfed the country?
