Make sure you spray the toilet cistern with wd40 to stop the little perishers doing a cheeky line in the bathroom

A Grease style prom with a funfair, magicians, jugglers and fireworks has been suggested. I don't want to spend that much money on it though
Seriously? The bairn left in the summer and the school took them on the bus to the metro centre to have a day at the NAMCO place and then they had a surprise trip back on a limo bus. We just paid the public transport busfare, £3 quid towards the lunch they were having and the school said we could give a maximum of £5 spending money so all in all it was barely a tenner! The kids had a fantastic time.

Sounds like some parents are looking for a way to show off, and hijacking a simple, fun school event to do so. I recommend a limo to a sports hall and the kids can watch a parents MMA evening.

Playground parents willy waving, pleased mine are passed that now. Bugger them Becs, it`s a decent suggestion and the kids won`t be bothered as long as they get to do something. Mind even if you did get them to go with it there`ll still be some silly bollocks who splashes out on a limo or something to get their little cherubs there
Sounds like some are already thinking of the Facebook opportunities!
When I left Elizabeth Ville Preparatory School for Young Gentlemen we had a circus, travelling funfair, disco, BBQ and fancy dress competition.
Didn't everyone have something similar?
Modern bairns get nowt these days.

Can't even spell the name of the school
That circus and fancy dress was actually just the locals on giro day, the dodgems were joy riders and the BBQ was the council strikers blazer
Mind I bet we had a leavers mass, a chance for the priest to wish us all a very fond farewell !

Alright Mr Perfect
Speaking of posh preparatory establishments, how is the bairn settling into Hogwarts?
Mine just had a party in a local village hall. Think it was a tenner to cover hall hire and DJ for 2 hours
Last night I got a video of him dancing to The Charlatans Only One I Know with a dwarf on his shoulders so he appears to be okAlright Mr Perfect

When my kids left primary school we had a picnic where everybody brought some food and their own drinks and had a whip-round for small gifts to the teachers

Might be an idea for the school to have an input to keep it sensible for all
Restaurant with a tea time slot is the job ,think it was Marcellos for my son's

tell them you`ll acquiesce to their ideas but there`ll have to be a big board with their kids photos, school awards,sats results etc on it. See how many of of the "i`ve got this" are keen then
No wonder we're seen to be in the end days of Western Civilisation.
Leaving party my arse, you're on holiday for 6 weeks, get the bike out

How times have changed. In the 50's we just went home. Then came back the next year into the building next door. Simples.
We went to Brighton for the day in school uniform as it was an outing. We went for a swim at black rock , had a picnic and came home again. My children just had either a disco in the school hall or a BBQ on school grounds, I think the teacher provided the sausages. No cost to parents, or a very nominal cost eg £1.

My lad had one. They got a fekkin limo to drive them around then drop them off at the high school where they are attending now for a big disco type thing. What a load of shite.
I hired a limo and a bloke to dress up as a power ranger for my kid.
