Much more modestly, we paid for the initial kitting out of uniform and sports gear and extra clothing items, for our two grand-children (circa £1400) and pay a very modest £25 per month into the "school fund" account. We'll probably buy the lad his cricket whites next year and the lass her own hockey stick as she has taken to the game.
